INTRO SOLO

You can talk about bird liver but narrow face is the meat I crave

You can talk about bird liver but narrow face is the meat I crave

You can take a narrow face and lead a preacher to his grave

You sisters'll do anything when he begins to preach and smile

You sisters will do anything when he begins to preach and smile

You'll bankrupt your husband, buying those narrow face pies

Lordy, Lordy, here's what I want you to do

Lordy, Lordy, here's what I want you to do

Please deliver me from those narrow face blues

Hey, hey-hey, listen to the brother moan

Hey, hey, hey-ey, listening to the brother moan

While the preacher and the sisters gnaw on those narrow face bones

You'll be surprised to know what the word of "narrow face" means

You'll be surprised to know what the word of "narrow face" means

But you see it ain't nothing, but a great big fat hen

Hey, hey, what you want me to do?

Hey, hey, what you want me to do?

Joint it with you and eat those narrow face blues
