Funny Stories You wanta hear em told in my southern drawl Make sure I throw in enough y'alls Death by misadventure turned to comedy Poverty recast as nobility Dark hollers tucked hard into the hills Insanity and inbreeding and moonshine stills You wanta hear new tales and the old ones again Blood feuds bloodlettings and distant kin How this one lost her eye and that one his limb All the children that are just never seen again Say I should be out on some kind of tour How I've got enough material for a book or four Say it's a blessing to have such an interesting family I should consider myself really lucky You can't get enough it never gets boring You say I tell such Funny Stories Signs and superstitions and unmarked graves Real possibility of violence every day All the ones that still never learn to read Must appeal to your sense of superiority Wives and children forced to fend for themselves The slightest transgression punishable by death Forest floors never touched by daylight Middle of the day just like night Tales of Indians Melungeons other lost tribes And somethin like pity rises in your eyes Right or wrong I'll tell you true These people - my people Don't want a damn thing from you Say these hillbilly tales are fascinating Even though you sometimes think I must be exaggerating You can't hear them enough even if they're allegories Cause I always tell such Funny Stories
