The last time that I saw her
She was standing in the rain
With her overcoat under her arm
Leaning on a horsehead cane
She said "carl, take all the money"
She called everybody carl
"my spirit's broke"
"my mind's a joke,"
"and getting up's real hard"
Chorus
Don't you know her
When you see her?
She grew up
In your back yard
Come back to us

Beauregard [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/john_prine/come_back_to_us_barbara_lewis_hare_krishna_beauregard.html ]
Selling bibles at the airports
Buying quayludes on the phone
Hey, you talk about
A paper route
She's a shut in without a home
God save her, please
She's nailed her knees
To some drugstore parking lot
Hey, mr. brown
Turn the volume down
I believe this evening's shot
Repeat chorus
Can't you picture her next thursday?
Can you picture her at all?
In the hotel boulderado
At the dark end of the hall
I gotta shake myself and wonder
Why she even bothers me
For if heartaches were commercials
We'd all be on t.v.
