Mark Knopfler
Old Pigweed
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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?
In the mulligan, in the mulligan
In the mulligan stew

[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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?
Who put old Pigweed in the mulligan stew?

[Outro]
In the mulligan, in the mulligan
In the mulligan stew
In the mulligan, in the mulligan
Stew
