Shel Silverstein Dirty ol' me Lyrics:
Well I was sittin' up in my crane leftin' boulders
in the rain Can't get promoted no matter what I do
Ah when the forman he comes around and he yells up
from the ground He says hold that load up there
for a minute or two Cause I got to check some gear
down here below So whatever you do with them rocks
just don't let go Just don't let go just don't let
go Sittin' by his desk drinkin' coffee it seems
that he got hit by a rock or three They're puttin'
my name on the door where his name was before Oh
dirty ol' me say dirty ol' me

Now my best friend had confessed that his life had
been a mess Yeah when he was young he robbed the
bank and then ran But now he lives an honest life
and he's got a lovely wife But still it hurts to
be a wanted man But he said nobody knows about it
but my friends and kin And I know a none of them
would ever turn me in They'd never turn me in
they'd never turn me in I'm slouchin' on his couch
drinkin' his whiskey Well it seems somebody called
the police on he And between the hugs and kisses
that I'm gettin' from his Mrs I think oh dirty ol'
me dirty ol' me

And then of course it follows I found a suitcase
full of dollars About fifteen thousand of 'em more
or less And inside there was a note that some poor
old lady wrote Givin' me her name and her address
And it said if lost finder please return without
hesitation Cause I've been savin' this money for
fifteen years Strippin' and sufferin' and takin'
in washin' Scrubbin' floors and sellin' flowers in
the snow And now I need it for a serious operation
a serious operation a serious operation Now I'm
layin' on the beach in Acapulco got enough money
to last till I'm ninety-three And I'm eatin'
enchilidas served by lovely signoritas Thinkin' oh
dirty ol' me thinkin' dirty ol' me

(Yeah I can't face myself aw y'know but when you
really think about it I mean that foreman I mean
he had compensation and prob'ly could use the rest
And y'know my friend'll prob'ly feel a lot better
When he pays his debt to society and won't have
that pressure on him Y'know and that old lady
y'know if there was such an old lady It prob'ly
was a false note anyway But if there was she she
can get MediCare they've got I mean I'm not tryin'
to make excuses or nothin' y'know I mean I mean I
can't stand to look at myself sometimes I mean I-I
feel the guilt honey pass me some more of that
tequila I 'm just tryin' to forget dirty ol' me
Yeah just move a little closer yeah Some o'them
frijoles I love frijoles yeah I want Yeah I-I got
the money right here yeah)
