“Blood's thicker than water,
And when you’re in trouble, boys,
Best to seek out a relative's open arms.”
One of Momma Ed’s Many Sayings
And after Brother Edvard’s drag queen poem,
I just can’t seem to get this song out of my head.
We hadn’t been here in California very long
And we’d already been booted out of Frisco
And those very irate Indians were still after us
So Jersey said “Now where the heck do we go?”
Sadly, the Gold Rush was already over
But this California, was a real huge place
“So let’s head on over, to old Sacramento!”
But Jersey now had a huge frown on his face
“Sacramento? Ain’t it always cold and rainin there?”
Now our old Brother Edvard gave him his best Ed stare
“A little rain and cold ain’t gonna hurt us Eds none,
Besides, I know a good place for us to hide over there!”
That’s when he pulled a faded old photo from his pouch
And at that treasured old picture, Jersey and I now stared
It was a picture of our half sister, our dear old Tiger Lily Ed
We now remembered that she had moved out there, long ago
Jersey got all choked up, and a few tears rolled down his cheek
“If you think that we’ll really find her, on to Sacramento, let’s go!”
Old Brother Edvard truly is a most cunning Ed brother
He knew that Jersey Ed loved Sister Tiger Lily, the most
So we three Eds now gathered up our meager possessions
And we blazed a new Ed trail, inland from the California coast
