Vinegar Hill

I took my baby to Vinegar Hill
She planted a kiss on me and it gave me a thrill
I said I’ll keep you in my pocket like a two-dollar bill
She said alright I’ll make you lucky and I know she will

We passed the halfway house and the Italian store
She was tiny as a mouse and pretty as the shore
I said I’ll keep you in my pocket like a handkerchief
A secret in my heart a true belief

Down by the beacon where the walrus sleeps
I sounded like a promise and she sure looked like keeps
I said I’ll keep you in my pocket like an M&M
A fine cut poem or a stolen gem

No money no crime no crime no money
All I got is time and you my honey
I’ll keep you in my pocket like an antidote
A cigarette butt or a kinky quote

It’s the fancy car that won the war
Not tequila and beer not my local bar
I’ll keep you in my pocket like a pair of dice
A shot of libation a sacrifice
