JELLY JAR Patty Gayle
In my fifty third summer I find myself thinking
About all the times we’d sit around drinking
Cussing and discussing and laughing hard
And drinking whiskey in a jelly jar
Morning coffee strong and black
Rabbit or squirrel or something like that’s
Always crackling in the frying pan
And that gravy spoon in mama’s hand
Afternoon tea boiling in the pot
Sweat pooling in your sweet spot
Tickling down the back of your knees
Get out on the porch to catch a breeze and
Your slip is damp from the water cooler
Sitting around smoking old roll your own buglers
Too damn hot for the dogs to bark
So you wait ‘til the evening or close to dark and
Take a ride across the county line
For some beer and whiskey and screw top wine
About sundown we’d get to thinking
Maybe it’s time we started drinking
Cussing and discussing and laughing hard
Drinking homemade whiskey in a jelly jar
Oh yeah
Daddy Paul’s dancing in the kitchen
Pauline’s drunk started her bitching
Sitting around the table playing penny ante poker
Take a quick nip maybe a toke and
Your slip is damp from the water cooler
Sitting around smoking old roll your own buglers
Too damn hot for the dogs to bark
So you wait ‘til the evening or close to dark and
Take a ride across the county line
For some beer and whiskey and screw top wine
About sundown we’d get to thinking
Maybe it’s time we started drinking
Wait ‘til the evening or close to dark
Then we’d drink our whiskey in a jelly jar
Cussing and discussing and laughing real hard
Drinking homemade whiskey in a jelly jar
