Butter Knife Blues Lyrics

She gave me a glass of water, made me drink it down

Then she gave me four more, she's trying to make me drown

Well, that's all right

It's not all right

Yeah, that's OK

It's not OK

I was kind of thirsty

One more sip

Anyway

She took me to a staircase, she tried to shove me down

But that silly woman did it two steps from the ground

Well, that's all right

It's not all right

Yeah, that's OK

It's not OK

I was going down

Way too slow

Anyway

One day during breakfast, she tried to end my life

She barely made a mark on me because she used a butter knife

Well, that's all right

It's not all right

Yeah, that's OK

It's not OK

I buttered my toast

That was mine

Anyway

She had me meet her family, I wasn't very rude

But when it came to supper time, there was something in my food

Well, that's all right

It's not all right

Yeah, that's OK

It's not OK

I wasn't hungry

Just one bite

Anyway

One night she tried to freeze me, put me out in the cold

Turned out it was August, she couldn't be consoled

Well, that's all right

It's not all right

Yeah, that's OK

It's not OK

I like the fresh air

Wait till winter

Anyway

We've been together years now, she's tried a hundred ways

But I've survived every time though every night she prays

Well, that's all right

It's not all right

Yeah, that's OK

It's not OK

I'll keep on living

Yeah, you will

Anyway

Yeah, that's all right

It's not all right

Yeah, that's OK

It's not OK

She'll keep on trying

You know I will

Till my dying day
