The Post Partum Holiday Blues

I have
The mean ol’
Mean ol’
Mean ol’
Post partum
Holiday blues

I have
The mean ol’
Mean ol’
Mean ol’
Post holiday
Partum blues

So whatever you do
Please don’t step on
My blue suede
Holiday shoes

The mean ol’
Mean ol’
Mean ol’
Post holiday
Partum blues
Ain’t never somethin’
That I would ordinarily
Choose
It just keeps on
Remindin’ me, Lord
Of all that
I stand to lose

Lord, I am countin’ down the days
‘til I don’t have to work no more
Lord, I am countin’ down the days
‘til I don’t have to work no more
Then I’m gonna
Buy myself a brand new
Store bought suit, Lord
From the new suit corner store
Then I’m gonna
Buy myself a brand new suit, Lord
From the new suit corner store

Yeah Lord
I surely do have
The mean ol’
Mean ol’
Mean ol’
Post partum
Holiday blues
And I need to take
The greyhound bus
To New Orleans
To show off
My brand new
Store bought suit
And my brand new
Blue suede
Holiday shoes
