Autumn


Kiss all the pretty ones goodbye
Give everyone a penny that cries
You can throw all my tranquil pills away
Let my blood pressure go on its way
For my autumn's done come
My autumn's done come
Done come
Let those "I don't care" days begin
I'm tired of holding my stomach in
No more slinky Vogue dolls for me
I'll take Sears & Roebuck dolls gladly
For my autumn's done come
My autumn's done come
Done come
Bring me water short, scotch tall
A big long black cigar and that ain't all
Hang me a hammock 'tween two big trees
Leave me alone, damn, and let me do what I please
For my autumn's done come
My autumn's done come
Done come
