Old Laughing Lady (Live 11/24/76)

[Verse 1]
Don't call pretty Peggy, she can't hear you no more
Don't leave no message around her back door
They say the old laughing lady been here before
She don't keep time, she don't count score

[Verse 2]
You can't have a cupboard if there ain't no wall
You got to move, there's no time left for you to stall
They say the old laughing lady dropped by to call
And when she leaves, she leaves nothing at all

[Verse 3]
See the drunkard of the village falling on the street
He can't tell his ankles from the rest of his feet
He loves his old laughing lady 'cause her taste is so sweet
But his laughing lady's loving ain't the kind he can keep
No, his laughing lady's loving ain't the kind that he can keep

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 4]
There's a fever on the freeway, it blacks out the night
And there's a slippin' on the stairway just don't feel right
And there's a rumblin' in the bedroom and a flashing of light
There's the old laughing lady, everything is all right
There's the old laughing lady, everything is all right

[Outro]
Oh guilty train, don't whistle my way again
Guilty train, don't whistle my way again
