I WAS WORKING MY WAY THROUGH KANSAS,
ON A DOLLAR AND A BOYISH GRIN,
WHEN I FELL INTO MISFORTUNE,
WITH THE HELP OF THE DEMON GIN,
WELL MY MIND SIMPLY LEFT MY BODY,
AS I DROWNED IN A PEA GREEN FILM,
AND IT GOES BY THE NAME OF DOTTIE,
DOTTIE WON'T YOU DO IT AGAIN,

SHE SAID I DON'T GIVE A REASON,
FOR BEING WHAT I AM,
SHE DON'T GIVE A REASON,
SHE DON'T GIVE A DAMN,

WELL I'M SITTING ALONE IN FRISCO,
BEEN AFRAID, BEEN LEFT BEHIND,
WITH VISIONS OF DOTTIE'S BODY,
SASHAYING THROUGH MY MIND,

SHE SAID I DON'T GIVE A REASON,
FOR BEING WHAT I AM,
SHE DON'T GIVE A REASON,
SHE DON'T GIVE A DAMN,

WELL MY MIND SIMPLY LEFT MY BODY,
AS I DROWNED IN A PEA GREEN FILM,
AND IT GOES BY THE NAME OF DOTTIE,
DOTTIE WON'T YOU DO IT AGAIN.
