Lyrics
She chews Red Man tobacco, she drinks Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer
She got one tattoo says "Mother", the other says "Kiss Me Here"
She got a skull on the gas tank of her brand new Harley hog
And a love seat on the back for her man that she calls "Dog"
She got a switchblade in her pocket
Got a buck-knife on her hip
Got a diamond in her only tooth and an earring in her lip
CHORUS:
They call her Hound Dog Lil, she's the queen of devil hill
No one's ever called her Lillian, she says no one ever will
Just plain Hound Dog Lil, that's all she answers to
And if you're nice, Lil might just take her glass eye out for you
Well she ain't nobody's chicken
No she ain't nobody's fool, she got a sixth grade education
All the cats jus think she's cool
She got a chain on her wallet spikes on her shoes
And the only kind of music she will listen to is blues
Her mama named her Hound Dog, some people think that wrong
But, after all, it was her favorite Elvis Presley song
CHORUS
Well, she lives life for the minute, says tomorrow we may die
And the way she drinks her beer and whiskey
You know that ain't no lie
She got a switchblade in her pocket, got a buck-knife on her hip
Got a diamond in her only tooth and an earring in her lip
CHORUS
