Victoria Anne Songtext
von Simone White

You and me, and your brother spent the summer
Catching crawfish in the creek
Mosquito bites, spittin′ watermelon seeds

Your mama's pork fat grits
Stacking pennies on the railroad tracks
Got drunk on homemade gin
And robbed the general store

Got a hiding, and a licking, and a seeing to
Boy, my butt was sore
Was your butt sore too?

Victoria Anne, Victoria Anne
Don′t ride your bike behind the fog, man
Victoria Anne, Victoria Anne, Victoria Anne
Don't ride your bike behind the fog, man
You'll regret it someday
But why? I cannot say


WonderBread and mayonnaise sandwiches
Smoking jimsonweed cigars
Sittin′ in the swamps, I saw a haint
No, you d′aint

Slinging cemetery stones
Wearing Spanish curly moss wigs
Chasing chiggers in my hair
You gave me ringworm, scabies, and the lice
Yes, I did, but it was not my fault

Daddy says there's a devil in the woods
And he′s got his eye on me
Leaning on his shiny cane
Gonna take me away for all my evil deeds

But it was you that chucked the kittens in the river
I threw you in straight after
Laughing, falling on the fire ant hill
Tore my clothes off and jumped right in

Running naked down the street
Your mama screaming, chasing us as fast as she can
Calling, "Come home, goddamn"


Victoria Anne, Victoria Anne
Don't ride your bike behind the fog, man
Victoria Anne, Victoria Anne, Victoria Anne
Don′t ride your bike behind the fog, man
You'll regret it someday
But why? I cannot say
