كلمات The Woman Who Was Also A Mongoose

She was once an attraction at the county fair And now she sleeps in a box at the top of the stairs And she loves it here, make no mistake Cause she can earn her keep by chasin' snakes And if I wake up late at night I know that everything will be alright Cause crawling round on my roof Is the woman who is also a mongoose She was born in May, nineteen years ago In a little town outside Buffalo But the town folk feared her and they chased her away And now she's happy with a place to stay And if I wake up late at night I know that everything will be alright Cause crawling round on my roof Is the woman who is also a mongoose She trapped a rattler out behind the barn And she let it go without any harm Then she came inside for a cup of tea And she spoke for a while with my brother and me Chasing after field mice, running through the high grass That's what she loves to do And if she's happy as a mongoose It shouldn't bother me or you And if I wake up late at night I know that everything will be alright Cause crawling round on my roof Is the woman who is also a mongoose
