Old Pigweed Songtext
von Mark Knopfler

Everything was in there that you′d wanna see
Corned beef and onions and true love
Turnips and tinned tomatoes
Parsnips and a few potatoes
A couple extra blessings from above

Now this here mingle-mangle was my best one yet
A big old bad goulash worth waitin' for
And I′m just about to dip my can
Taste some brotherhood of man
When I get a feelin' that there's a flaw

Who put old pigweed in the mulligan? Was it you?
Who put old pigweed in the mulligan stew?
I close my eyes for just a minute, what do you do?
Who put old pigweed in the mulligan stew?
In the mulligan, in the mulligan, in the mulligan stew?


You won′t find self-improvement or philosophy
In a dumpster sittin′ by the kitchen door
There's plenty leek and humble pie
Ain′t too much ham on rye
Sometimes I wonder what I'm lookin′ for

But a spoonful of forgiveness goes a long, long way
And we all should do our best to get along
Add a pinch of kindness crumblin'
To your lovin′, dumplin' okra for thickenin'
When something′s wrong

But who put old pigweed in the mulligan? Was it you?
Who put old pigweed in the mulligan stew?
I close my eyes for just a minute, what do you do?
Who put old pigweed in the mulligan stew?
Who put old pigweed in the mulligan stew?
In the mulligan, in the mulligan, in the mulligan stew
In the mulligan, in the mulligan stew
