Emmy-Lou

Oh my wife just left me for my cousin Emmy-Lou.
I slashed my wrists because I didn't know what to do.
Aunty May put a bullet through her head.
Said she couldn't live cause her cat was dead.

And I'm still bleeding, the blood gushes from my wrists.
My father came over just to give me shit.
He kicked me in the face with his steel toed boot.
Went into my wallet and took all my loot.

And I'm so tired of being let down.
My mother laughs and says I'm a clown.
Uncle Joe got drunk and smashed up my car.
Now he's a paraplegic and cannot walk very far.

I'm serving 5 to 10 for attempted suicide.
God I wish that I could have died.
Emmy-Lou slept with my brothers wife.
And my wife blew off her head with a Colt .45.
