I saw an old woman in a wheelchair

On the highway yesterday

I saw an old woman in a wheelchair

On the highway yesterday

And as I asked her to pull over

To make sure no truck would hit her

She smiled and mumbled, 'okay, whatever you say.'

And I said, 'I wonder why.'



She said, 'Girl, you're so naive

And you're too young to understand

I am now chasing my husband Stan

A pale man in a black suit came to take him

In trade for a cup of tea

A pale man came to take him away from me'



And I said, 'I see,' (and I really did)

'You go and chase him, go ahead

And when you catch him will you send him my love

And tell the pale man to make sure

To call before he comes to take me too.

To take me too.'



(I saw an old woman...)
