Liner Notes

I like the word varmint. I think I watched too much Beverly Hillbillys.

Lyrics

On the Grey county line I had a 10 acre place
Alder bush along the back the first I saw your face
With your tawny fur coat and your quick agile bends
Made me smile to watch I thought that we’d be friends

I had a little garden chicken scratching in the fence
I went out to the egghouse and I saw that awful mess
Feathers torn and bloody, meat spoilin’ in the sun
You didn’t need to do it, you did it just for fun

CHORUS
Varmint in the egghouse those cold black eyes
Varmint in the egghouse your sneakin’ evil ways
Some wire and some boxes and a little weasel bait
Next time you come visit meet a cold hard fate

It’s hard to understand what this world’s all about
Do we live together and help each other out?
Or sneak around behind, try and slit a throat
I see now how you play it you stinking little stoat

CHORUS
Varmint in the egghouse those cold black eyes
Varmint in the egghouse your sneakin’ evil ways
Some wire and some boxes and a little weasel bait
That’s how we’re gonna play it meet a cold hard fate
