Mark Knopfler Old Pigweed
Everything was in there
That you'd want to 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 waiting for
And I'm just about to dip my can
Taste some brotherhood of man
When I get a feeling
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 sitting by
The kitchen door
There's plenty leek and humble pie
Ain't too much ham on rye
Sometimes I wonder
What I'm looking 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 crumbling
To your loving dumpling
Okra for thickening
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
