Peter Sivo Band - Peter Pumpkin Eater Blues Lyrics

Peter Pumpkin Eater has the blues
Lost his cool now has to pay his dues
Had a wife he thought he'd never lose
'Til she started wearing traveling shoes
Put her in a pumpkin shell, thought he'd keep her very well
Peter Pumpkin Eater has the blues

Pumpkin living was a great big bore
Keeping house and shining up the floor
Now this chick she wanted so much more
Couldn't take a life of being poor
Peter should know a woman's needs, can't be filled with pumpkin seeds
So she started slipping out the door

Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater had a wife and couldn't keep her
Put her in a pumpkin shell but she told him to go to-well,

Sunday night when Peter got the news
That his wife was swinging up at Lou's
Peter went and filled himself with booze
Got his gun and loaded it to use
Found them flying high and then, shot them down AMEN
Peter Pumpkin Eater has the blues
