Mark Knopfler Old Pigweed lyrics

Everything was in there that you'd want to see
Corned beef and onions and true love
Turnips and tinned tomatoes
Parsnips and a few potatoes
A couple extra blessings from above

Now this here mingle-mangle was my best one yet
A big old bad goulash worth waiting for
And I'm just about to dip my can
Taste some brotherhood of man
When I get a feeling that there's a flaw

Who put old pigweed in the mulligan?
Was it you, who put old pigweed
In the mulligan stew?
I close my eyes for just a minute
What do you do? Who put old pigweed
In the mulligan stew?

You won't find self improvement or philosophy

In a dumpster sitting by the kitchen door
There's plenty of leek and humble pie
Ain't too much ham on rye
Sometimes I wonder what I'm looking for

But a spoonful of forgiveness goes a long, long way
And we all should do our best to get along
Add a pinch of kindness crumbling
To your loving dumpling
Okra for thickening when something's wrong

Who put old pigweed in the mulligan?
Was it you, who put old pigweed
In the mulligan stew?
I close my eyes for just a minute
What do you do? Who put old pigweed
In the mulligan stew?
