Virgin Queen

lyrics

Mama, aren't you proud
Of the song that I just wrote?
It came to me the other night
In a round with Hazel Motes
His hair stood up on end
Like a military kid's
He said, "I have no sin--
I'm not sayin' sin's real"
But he still won't say what he did

(chorus)
Oh, Mama, I wish I'd seen
My true Mama, the Virgin Queen
The Virgin Queen

Flannery, look down on me
I'm not cut out for this
I've got a peacock heart
And a crutched soul
But I'm no novelist
So send me just one line
About where the good man goes
When all the good girls marry off
And the monasteries close

(chorus)

Grandpa got shook up
When the Parkinson's set in
And Grandma's heart broke
Every day since he forgot her name
This girl loves my hands
She talks like I'll stay sane
I still try to hide it from her
Every time I shake

(chorus)
