Black goddess in a shabby raincoat

The streets were your home

Your hourglass ass

Your slant devil eyes

Alone in the cheapo motel

By the highway to hell
F#
America's greatest living poet was ogling you all
E
Night, You should be wearing the finest gown
F#
But here you are now -- Gas, food, lodging,
E
poverty, misery --and gardenia
F#
You could be burned at the stake
E
For all your mistakes, mistakes, mistakes
