you know they put it all down to what the fat man said they said she went down to the water and she soaked herself dead but I know for sure she's got a boat out for hire and she sailed off to mexico she crossed the delta 'bout 3 o'clock drinking champagne from a water glass she stole three chickens from the chicken shack she threw the hot sauce in the water but the fish keep comin' back she's got Sicilian sailor blood and an old man's coat with a skin of salt and lime she lives on licorice and smoke O do i hear another hurricane inside my head or is it just a wailing bagpipe from the coast? there is something in the wind that wants to rip off all your skin and it is coming up from mexico, mexico... Ms. Mary MacK is coming back In an old man's coat she orders whiskey at the bar and picks up Alice in the car and they are screaming with the radio, radio she's got Sicilian sailor blood and an old man's coat with a skin of salt and lime she lives on licorice and smoke well, bend an ear back to what the fat man said was right he said she'd take off on the water that was black as pitch and night i woke with lemon on my lips a touch of salt upon my skin i'll drink up whiskey till it's light i want to follow where they've been if i could buy a small boat i would fill it full of licorice and i would take it down to mexico where all the crazy ladies fish take it down to mexico where all the crazy ladies fish
