The Old Laughing Lady (Live from Hammersmith Odeon 1976) Neil Young

[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
It's time to move, there's none left for you to stall
They say the old laughing lady dropped by to call
And when she leaves, she leaves nothing at all

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 3]
See the drunkard of the village falling on the street
He can't tell his ankle from the rest of his feet
He loves his old laughing lady 'cause her taste is so sweet
Ah but that laughing lady's loving ain't the kind he can keep

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