Had Me A Girl, The Early Years vol 1, Tom Waits [232]

Alice Fraser of The Bugle and The Last Post joins Martin and Sam to take a look at Waits's geocached conquest spreadsheet and the blue consequences thereof.

Lyrics - Had Me a Girl Well, I had me a girl in LA I knew she could not stay Had me a girl in San Diego One day she just had to go And then I had me a girl in Tallahassee Boy, what a foxy lassie And my doctor says I'll be all right But I'm feeling blue And my doctor says I'll be all right Doctor says I'll be all right Doctor says I'll be all right But I'm feeling blue And my doctor says I'll be all right Doctor says I'll be all right My doctor says I'll be all right But I'm feeling blue And then I had me a girl in Mississippi Oh, she sure was kippy Had me a girl from England She done split for the mainland And then I had me a girl from New York She up and pulled my cork And my doctor says I'll be all right But I'm feeling blue And my doctor says I'll be all right The doctor says I'll be all right Well, the doctor says I'll be all right But I'm feeling blue And the doctor says I'll be all right The doctor says I'll be all right Well, the doctor says I'll be all right But I'm feeling blue Then I had me a girl from North Dakota She was just filling her quota Then I had me a girl from Chula Vista I was in love with her sister Then I had me a girl from Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm And the doctor says I'll be all right But I'm feeling blue And my doctor says I'll be all right Doctor says I'll be all right The doctor says I'll be all right But I'm feeling blue And my doctor says I'll be all right The doctor says I'll be all right Well, my doctor said I'll be all right But I'm feeling blue Then I had me a girl from France Just wanted to get in her pants Then I had me a girl from Toledo Boy, she sure was neato Then I had me a girl from North Carolina She's still on my mind And my doctor says I'll be all right But I'm feeling blue And my doctor says I'll be all right The doctor says I'll be all right Well, the doctor says I'll be all right But I'm feeling blue And my doctor says I'll be all right The doctor says I'll be all right Well, my doctor says I'll be all right But I'm feeling blue Well, the doctor says I'll be all right Doctor says I'll be all right Doctor says I'll be all right But I'm feeling blue And my doctor says I'll be all right The doctor says I'll be all right Well, the doctor says I'll be all right But I'm feeling blue
