lyrics

Mamma McCraedy was a lady some said plum crazy
had a hold on her family's mind
Her broken body bent erratic locked up in the attic
had her lovin' little ones confined.

Papa McCraedy's in Hades and dealin' some shady
For the state he left his ladies in
A dance or more if you would chance with a McCraedy whore
You're cashin' out before he cashed you in.

Sister Sadie displayed a losing game of old maid
choosin' rogues and rakes for jacks
Dealt a better hand she'd understand how to lose that man
and keep a better suiter off her back.

Sonny McCraedy found a lady good plain and crazy
for the oldest boy of the clan
but how she cried when he lied and she damn near died
to see her angel baby spade a man.

If any would test them you can bet their ailments let them keep 'em all inline
To play a Crazy McCraedy was a day before dyin'
But the neighbors say maybe it'll turn out this time.
