DBT Tracks #65- "Your Woman is A Living Thing"

[rockreid]

I'm not going to be around around a computer Monday. So, I give you this: Cooley's inspirational wisdom on women and chickens-

"Your Woman is A Living Thing" ***

"I'd love for y'all to sit down,
just take a few minutes to enjoy yourself.
I mean. I mean, enjoy yourself!

Don't look left. Don't look right.
Don't even look straight ahead with your eyes open;
Just sit there and enjoy yourself.

Ohh... yeah...

We come to this point in the song where we like to talk to you for a little while.
Well I was over there at the hotel earlier, and I was talking to myself and somebody walked in.
Well shit, she didn't speak no English,
and it ain't like it mattered none.
So i just kept talking to myself.

She got this horrified look on her face...

And I said, "what the hell?"
And she said, well hell, I don't know what she said,
cause i don't speak Spanish.

Let's say the chicken plant is closed. Lord have mercy.
I don't know what that's going to do to my hens.
I ain't got so many bills to make up I can employ all these people.
Well I guess there's chickens need pluckin' somewhere else.

I Just keep pluckin' them and pluckin' them and pluckin' them,
til I can't plunk no more.
Then, throw 'em in the grease.

(Keep pluckin', Keep pluckin')

Haha...

It's like the chicken wouldn't ever there:
It don't end up like a chicken no more.

(Keep pluckin', keep pluckin')

You put a...
You put a little bit of black beans on the side of the motherfucker.
Shiiiit...

It ain't even like it was a living' thing.

That's what you do to your women boys, that how you do your women-
You think you can put some beans on the side of 'em
and a little bit of rice,
and it ain't even no damn living thing no more.

Like I'm gonna tell you boy:
your woman is a living thing
and anything on the side of it you want to do or top or the bottom or the side and its still living.
see y'all just get over here and come with me....

I remember the first time I heard this track, it was before DBT hit the stage during the Big To Do tour. I thought it was a lost Rolling Stones tune, kinda Far Away Eyes-ish with the way Cooley is speaking.

Given to Fly posted this before:

I first heard this song at my first Truckers show in Charleston, WV 2009 which was the last show of the Righteous Path tour as they were coming out on stage and I was blown away by it, and I didn't even know it was Cooley. Then I bought three copies of the 45 on Independent Record Store Day in 2010, then I downloaded it when it became available for that. Keep Pluckin

Stolen from Cooley's facebook page, he'll be selling these at his solo shows this month

Those are great. Hoping for some leftovers available for the rest of us!

Those are great. Hoping for some leftovers available for the rest of us!

There will need to be replenishment. Going like veritable hot cakes. 19 in Boston, 23 last night.

I would love a poster version because lord knows I don't need any more t-shirts. But if there's Cooley merch, you know I'm buying it.

One never has too many t-shirts; just not enough bureau drawers...and yeah: suckers, we are.

can't have too many
t-shirts and/or bureau drawers
yeah, suckers, we are
