[Verse 1: Townes Van Zandt]
Well, the clouds didn't look like cotton
They didn't even look like clouds
I was underneath the weather
All my friends looked a crowd
Well the swimmin' hole was full of rum
And I tried to find out why
All I learned was this my friend
You got to swim before you fly
[Chorus: Townes Van Zandt and Doug Sahm]
I got two girls
One's in heaven, one's below
One I love with all my heart
And one I do not know
[Verse 2: Doug Sahm]
Two lonesome dudes on a ugly horse
Passed by not long ago
They asked me where the action was
I said that I don't know
As they disappeared into the brush
I heard the driver say
He's a little slow between the ears
He's always been that way
[Chorus: Townes Van Zandt and Doug Sahm]
I got two girls
One's in heaven, one's below
One I love with all my heart
And one I do not know
[Verse 3: Townes Van Zandt]
Well Jolly Jane just lays around
And listens with her mouth
She's had about a dozen husbands
But the last one just pulled out
Now, who's gonna bring her dinner
Through the weary years ahead
All she'll get from me is sympathy
Ain't got time to see she's fed
[Chorus: Townes Van Zandt and Doug Sahm]
I got two girls
One's in heaven, one's below
Oh, one I love with all my heart
And one I do not know
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 4: Doug Sahm]
It's cold down on the bayou
They say it's all in your mind
The moccasins are treadin' ice
Leavin' strange designs
The Cajuns say the last time
This happened we weren't here
Beaumont's full of penguins
And I'm a-playin it by ear
[Chorus: Townes Van Zandt and Doug Sahm]
I got two girls
One's in heaven, one's below
One I love with all my heart
And one I do not know
I got two girls
One's in heaven, one's below
One I love with all my heart
And one I do not know
