[Millie] They said I would sing the homesick blues Granny, dear, Mother mine Old and gray at twenty-nine Calloused hands, broken heart Dreams that die before you start I ain't got nothin', so I ain't got nothing to lose Who needs a hat? Who needs a purse? And who needs you, mister whoever-you-are? 'Cause I'm a pioneer woman, pal The Woolworth building! The Met Life Tower! There's gold in them there hills, and I'm gonna get it or die trying Days of yore, kind and gentle Ask me if I'm sentimental Not for the life of me Boh-doh-dee-oh Not for the life of Not for the life of Not for the life of me [Gloria, Alice, Rita, Ruth, Cora And Lucille] Burn the bridge, bet the store Baby's coming home no more Not for the life of me [Lucille And Rita] A life that's gotta be more than a one-light town Where the light is always red [Alice And Cora] Gotta be more than a one-light town Where the light is [Gloria And Ruth] Gotta be more than a one-light town [All] Gotta be more than an old ghost town Where the ghost ain't even dead Clap your hands, just because Where I am ain't where I was! Not for the life of [Lucille] Me [Cora] Me [Alice] Me [Ruth] Me [Gloria] Me [Rita] Boh-doh-dee-oh [All] Not for the life of Not for the life of me!
