A cover song, originally done by Blaze Foley.

lyrics

Met a kinky little woman with crazy hair, big brown eyes, and a faraway stare. Mama's wouldn't think we'd have made a pair, but now we're living in the woods in a tree.

Some folks think we're a little deranged. That's the way it is; probably never will change. We don't care because you gotta be strange when you're living in the woods in a tree.

Cook our breakfast whenever we rise. Play a little music for the butterflies. Say pretty things looking into our eyes. Laughing in the woods in a tree.

Got a couple friends we can go and see. Some got kids that'll sit on your knee. I love her and she loves me. Sleeping in the woods in a tree.

Gonna have a party when our boat gets here. Try to have some food and a pail of beer. Dance with the people that we live near. Laughing in the woods in a tree.

Both a little shaky with the other sometimes. Maybe because of things we should have left behind, but we'll watch our steps as we start to climb to the house in the woods in a tree.
