"The Snuff Queen (Acetate)" lyrics

"The Snuff Queen (Acetate)"

I'm makin' the scene with a snuff queen
I met down at the bingo parlor
I dropped in to try to win
What I could on a dollar and a quarter
And I left there with twenty dollars and a lover
Now, me and that queen, we're doin' our thing
From one end of town to the other

Now, out of the clear blue sky
She said, "I'd make a good wife
I'm young and I'm in my prime
I'm big enough to keep you warm in the winter
And shade you in the summertime
And listen here, boy
I don't eat much
Just a box of [?] chocolate covered cherries
And a canette of the buttercup snuff"

Oh, the snuff queen's got a face like I ain't never seen
She's been featured on the back cover of a foreign magazine
Tryna feed me some bologna
About that matrimony
Glory be, I can't see me bein' married to the snuff queen
[?]

Now, this snuff queen got me drinkin'
Some homemade tater booze
I turned up drunk
She turned up in high-heel Hush Puppy shoes
Tried to make me a husband
While my mind was in a mess
But it's lucky for me that the snuff queen
Couldn't even pass the blood test

Oh, that girl's got a face makes a fella wanna [?]
Got a figure like a bicycle [?]
