Fallin' Ditch

Now we won't have to worry about Rockette Morton
What's the name of that girls?
(Rockette Morton takes off again into the wind)
What do you run on, Rockette Morton?
(Say, "Beans")
I run on beans
I run on laser beans

When I get lonesome, the wind begin to moan
When I trip fallin' ditch, somebody wanna throw the dirt right down
When I feel like dying, the sun come out, stole my fear and gone
Who's afraid of the spirit with the blues for bones?
Who's afraid of the fallin' ditch?
Fallin' ditch ain't gonna get my bones

How's that for the spirit? How's that for the things?
Ain't my fault the thing's gone wrong
And when I'm smiling, my face wrinkles up real warm
And when I'm frowning, things just turn to stone

Fallin' ditch ain't gonna get my bones
And when I get lonesome the wind begin to moan
Fallin' ditch ain't gonna get my bones
