the air raid siren at the high school blew every weekday, twelve o'clock noon "dinner time, people" as if we didn't know I guess the city fathers liked to hear that thing blow
the boys were chasing the city truck spraying DDT it kept the mosquitoes down "that stuff won't hurt 'em none" I heard the neighbor lady say "encephalitis, now that can ruin your day"
granny was hanging out wash talking across the fence the neighbor lady nodded like it all made sense "she's just gonna stay with him 'till the kids are grown fetch me that clothes pin up off the ground would you hon"
(chorus) won't you stay with me 'till the sun goes down on that flat top mountain to the West of town won't you stay a while I just don't see why you must be leaving won't you stay with me
I had a cherry coke dripping on my cowboy clothes riding down Scott street in that big white Olds "we're going through nigger town, honey lock your door 'course that's not what we're supposed to call 'em anymore" "we're going to the beauty shop, it's not far you can come inside or you can just set in the car" "no you can't go with grandpa to the pasture today they're shipping calves and you'd just get in the way"
(chorus)
we had fried okra and black eyed peas granny had her saccharin she was putting it in her tea "pull that screen door to hon, you're letting in flies don't you know nothing"
"yonder comes the pickup he's coming down the street run help him put the horses up so we can eat he's always late for dinner lord he moves so slow twelve o'clock whistle blew half an hour ago"
