Sioux Named Boy

[Intro]
(Yeah yeah)
Ah man let 'er rip man
We ready? (Ready)

[Verse 1]
Well my daddy left home when I was thirty-three
And he didn't eat as much as mama and me
And he was the only indian on the reservation named Roy
He'd watch them tars and videotapes
And sit there and get drunk as a ape
And before he left he went and named me Boy
Then mama said he said I wasn't his
And what he said I was I can't say I guess
But I, I reckon I ain't no Iroquoix
All I know is before they got a divorce
He said something bout crazy whores and
Life ain't easy for a Sioux named Boy
I thought I was an unfortunate lad
But then I grew up and I saw they had
A room named after where people peed
And all them people, they came and went
And me I never made a cent
So I got looking for what was coming to me
And it was Bakerskfield in mid October
And it'd been a while since I'd been sober
And I hit the palace in my blue corduroys
Andf out there dancig in his cowboy boots
Just dancing like a cheetah through the buckaroos
Was that egg-sucking Sioux that named me Boy
Well I went up and grabbed him by the collar
And he said "Boy, give me a dollar
And why don't you get me and Jane a beer?"
Well bout that time ol' Jane passed out
And dad went staggering through the crowd
And I caught up with him and he said "Let's get out of here"
Well we wound up splitting a patty melt
And I told him just the way I felt
And he, he just looked at me and took another bite
I said "What's wrong?", he said "I'm full"
I said "Why didn't you name me Sitting Pole?"
And he said "Boy give me a light"
He said "Boy there ain't no doubt
After the way you turned out
If I ever have another son I'll name him sweet potater or two-nuts or anything but Boy"

[Outro]
We gotta work it out
