Old Pigweed - Mark Knopfler

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 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 

But 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
