MY NAME IS IDA MAE AND SOME FOLKS LIKE TO SAY
THAT I'M CRAZY. I'M NOT CRAZY.
I'M JUST MAD.
A MAN AIN'T NEVER BEEN BORN
WORTH A TEAR THAT A WOMAN CRY
AND SOME MEN, SOME MEN
THEY JUST NEED TO DIE.
IF I COULD GRIND THE BONES OF THAT DAMN LENNY JONES
I'D TAKE THE POWDER, MIX IT WITH SULFUR
THEN SET IT ALL ON FIRE
BURN THE URN OF A LIAR
BECAUSE THAT MAN, THAT MAN
HE JUST NEEDS TO DIE.
HE LIED ABOUT MY DAUGHTER.
NOW SHE'S LIVING ON THE FRINGE.
HE LIED ABOUT MY BEST FRIEND CARLOTTA.
SHE DONE JUMPED IN THE MISSISSIPPI
OFF THE BIG EADS BRIDGE
MY NAME IS IDA MAE AND SOME FOLKS LIKE TO SAY
THAT I'M CRAZY. I'M NOT CRAZY.
BUT I MIGHT BE INSANE.
HOW COULD ONE MAN
CAUSE SO MUCH PAIN
THAT MAN, THAT MAN
HE JUST NEEDS TO DIE.
