C              D
Everything was in there 
           G
That you'd want to see 
C               D
Corned beef and onions 
         G
And true love 
C           D
Turnips and tinned tomatoes 
G              Em
Parsnips and a few potatoes 
C 
A couple extra blessings 
     D
From above 


C                    D
Now this here mingle-mangle 
       G
Was my best one yet 
C             D
A big old bad goulash 
              G
Worth waiting for 
C                     D
And i'm just about to dip my can 
G                 Em
Taste some brotherhood of man 
C
When I get a feeling 
D
That there's a flaw 


C           D
Who put old pigweed 
       G
In the mulligan 
       Em
Was it you 
C
Who put old pigweed 
       D
In the mulligan stew 
G
I close my eyes 

For just a minute 
            Em
What do you do 
C
Who put old pigweed 
       D
In the mulligan stew 


C                   D              G
You won't find self-improvement or philosophy 
C                     D
In a dumpster sitting by 
            G
The kitchen door 
C                       D
There's plenty leek and humble pie 
G              Em
Ain't too much ham on rye 
C
Sometimes I wonder 
                 D
What i'm looking for 

C                    D
But a spoonful of forgiveness 
       G
Goes a long, long way 
C                 D
And we all should do our best 
   G
To get along 
C                       D
Add a pinch of kindness crumbling 
G              Em
To your loving dumpling 
C
Okra for thickening 
D
When something's wrong 



C               D
But who put old pigweed 
       G
In the mulligan 
       Em
Was it you 
C
Who put old pigweed 
       D
In the mulligan stew 
C          D
I close my eyes 
           G
For just a minute 
            Em
What do you do 
C
Who put old pigweed 
       D
In the mulligan stew
