She’ll be thirty two in July and she’s only known one man
A blue-eyed talker name of Hawkeye, sometimes he sold pots and pans
He came to her house late one summer when she was ripe and twenty two
He stayed awhile with her that summer and if he left we never knew

Chorus:
And he called her Dolly, and he called her Dolly
And he called…., called her Dolly

She hasn’t spoken since that summer, her hair has turned a silver grey
Her eyes turned yellow like the roses she weeds and waters everyday
And people come to buy the roses but sell them one she will not do
She sits there in her six foot garden and counts the roses two-by-two

Chorus

One day a man came by to see her, he said he was Hawkeye’s best friend
He wondered had she’d seen old Hawkeye her yellows eyes smiled up at him
She turned and walked down to her garden and picked two roses of her choice
And when she gave em to the stranger he thought he heard old Hawkeye’s voice

Chorus

A soldier was sent made to go and he went
To exist on the outskirts of hell.
And he wrote a letter to someone
Wrote sometimes we fight, sometimes we run
It’s just like playing football ? with a gun.

Chorus:
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh
Those Baghdad Knights! (repeat)

And the soldiers they stay, shoot to kill and then pray
They soon leave the outskirts of hell.
And they write their letters to loved ones
Write sometimes we fight, sometimes we run
Just like playing football – with a gun.

Chorus

And when the sun fades away at the end of the day
And the sand in your mind starts to cool
the stars starts to shine and they play tricks on your mind
Cause you brought your gun to school

Chorus

.
. repeat between these two measures.

We rode on trains with hunger and pain, but we didn’t cry

Cowards and heroes listen my friends
If you have money or nothing to spend
It’ll make no difference in a hundred years or so
Sooner or later we’ll all make the little flowers grow
Or later we’ll all make the little flowers grow

Wise men and fools who get your fight
You’ll never get out of this world alive
Don’t run and hide it’s no use I know
Sooner or later we’ll all make the little flowers grow
Or later we’ll all make the little flowers grow

Short men and tall men and all the rest
Please don’t blame me I didn’t start this mess
Some of us stay and some of us go
Sooner or later we’ll all make the little flowers grow
Or later we’ll all make the little flowers grow

Stranger’s arms reach out to me
Cause they know I’m so lonely
Then my mind goes back to you
And your sweet love sees me through
Your sweet love sees me through

Stranger’s eyes see through me
They know I need company
Then I stop and think of you
And your sweet love sees me through
Your sweet love sees me through

Strangers take my loneliness
Tell me that they understand
Until the death I’ll think of you
And your sweet love sees me through
Your sweet love sees me through

Fin!

You were just another place to stop as good as any place to be
And your thunder and your lightning
Lord your thunder and your lightning got me!

Lay back easy close your eyes
And listen to the sounds of happiness
Take these rough ends gently while I lay
My head down on your swollen breasts

Then I kiss each secret place so wet and warm and waiting to be free
‘Cause your thunder and your lightning
Yeah, your thunder and your lightning got me!

Hold the fire that’s burning deep inside
you melting memories of pain
Twisting turning rolling breaths
that only live in eyes of hurricanes

Trembling trembling like an earthquake hot wild and rushing to your seat
‘Cause your thunder and your lightning
Not your thunder and your lightning got me!
