Digger Dave's Crazy Woman Blues Digger Dave was a friend of mine Got himself into a bit of a mess one time Mindin' his business, drinkin' his wine When he heard a shotgun blast It wasn't anything he hadn't heard before But then that girl Christine came cryin' through his door Screamin', Yukon Jack told me to get rid of this thing fast Yukon Jack and Digger Dave sounds like a couple of names That I might've just made up But I'm tellin' you, this is the truest story I tell
She set down the gun, took off runnin' Digger Dave followed and soon came up on that death wish kid from Michigan He's layin' there shot up all to hell He got a death wish since they come up from the lower forty-eight And they'd all be drinkin' vodka for two days straight When the fist fight started, it was already too late For anyone to keep any peace No one could remember what the fight was about but By all accounts the kid pulled the first gun out In self-defense beyond a shadow of a doubt Is what they all agreed to tell the police
Digger Dave said, No, y'all are on your own with this Walked over to A.J.'s and drank himself pissed Cop yellow tape was strung out all over the place When he finally come walkin' back out
A victim of circumstance if ever there was one Last time I saw him he said that he had just done A year and a half for what he called lettin' that crazy bitch into his house Got a new song about it though, sang it for me behind the club It said, “Crazy woman blues, I got the crazy woman blues I got the crazy woman blues I never shoulda let her into my house” Said it's like, “Crazy woman blues, I got the crazy woman blues I got the crazy woman blues I never shoulda let her into my house”
Only one way to know how far is just far enough You gotta go a little bit too far, and then back up Back up and hope hard luck ain't on your side The town council had already planned to meet About all the drinkin' and druggin' down there on Brunelle Street About a little bit too late I guess At least for that kid that died
Crazy woman blues, crazy woman blues Crazy woman blues, I never shoulda let her into my house I got the crazy woman blues, the crazy woman blues Crazy woman blues, I never shoulda let her in the house
