Townes Van Zandt — Two Girls The Nashville Sessions

[Verse 1] Well, the clouds didn't look like cotton They didn't even look like clouds I was underneath the weather And all my friends looked a crowd Ah the swimmin' hole was full of rum And I tried to find out why Well, all I learned was this my friend You got to swim before you fly [Chorus] I got two girls Ones in heaven, ones below Oh, one I love with all my heart And one I do not know [Verse 2] Two lonesome dudes on an ugly horse Passed by not long ago They asked me where the action was I said I did not 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] Well I got two girls Ones in heaven, ones below Oh, one I love with all my heart And one I do not know [Verse 3] 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] I got two girls Ones in heaven, ones below Oh, one I love with all my heart And one I do not know [Verse 4] Well cold down on the bayou They say it's in your mind But the moccasins are treadin' ice And leavin' strange designs Well the Cajuns say the last time This happened they weren't here All Beaumonts full of penguins And I'm a-playin it by ear [Chorus] I got two girls Ones in heaven, ones below Oh, one I love with all my heart And one I do not know
