As opposed to "gamble lie"? Hyacinth (talk) 02:01, 22 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
Yes. That's how I've always heard it. She drank coffee and tea, each of which are reasonable beverages, and then followed that up with the more unusual gallon of lye. I have no sources for that, though. 72.240.64.25 (talk) 23:23, 22 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
I think that the lyrics, about the lion woman, lying woman, are deliberately poly-whatnot and ambiguous. --Timtak (talk) 11:34, 23 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Library of Congress Audio

Shame there is no link to the Library of Congress recording instead or at least as well as of a paid CD.--Timtak (talk) 11:34, 23 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
