Digger Dave was a friend of mine
Got himself into a bit of a mess one time
Mindinâ his business, drinkinâ his wine
When he heard a shotgun blast
It wasnât anything he hadnât heard before
But then that girl Christine came cryinâ through his door
Screaminâ, Yukon Jack told me to get rid of this thing fast
Yukon Jack and Digger Dave sounds like a couple of names
That I mightâve just made up
But Iâm tellinâ you, this is the truest story I tell
She set down the gun, took off runninâ
Digger Dave followed and soon came up on that death wish kid from Michigan
Heâs layinâ there shot up all to hell
He got a death wish since they come up from the lower forty-eight
And theyâd all be drinkinâ vodka for two days straight
When the fist fight started, it was already too late
For anyone to keep any peace
No one could remember what the fight was about but
By all accounts the kid pulled the first gun out
In self-defense beyond a shadow of a doubt
Is what they all agreed to tell the police
Digger Dave said, No, yâall are on your own with this
Walked over to A.J.âs and drank himself pissed
Cop yellow tape was strung out all over the place
When he finally come walkinâ back out
A victim of circumstance if ever there was one
Last time I saw him he said that he had just done
A year and a half for what he called lettinâ that crazy bitch into his
Got a new song about it though, sang it for me behind the club
It said, âCrazy woman blues, I got the crazy woman blues
I got the crazy woman blues
I never shoulda let her into my houseâ
Said itâs like, âCrazy woman blues, I got the crazy woman blues
I got the crazy woman blues
I never shoulda let her into my houseâ
Only one way to know how far is just far enough
You gotta go a little bit too far, and then back up
Back up and hope hard luck ainât on your side
The town council had already planned to meet
About all the drinkinâ and drugginâ down there on Brunelle Street
About a little bit too late I guess
At least for that kid that died
Crazy woman blues, crazy woman blues
Crazy woman blues, I never shoulda let her into my house
I got the crazy woman blues, the crazy woman blues
Crazy woman blues, I never shoulda let her in the house
