lyrics

mama's got a new pair 'a shoes
mama's got a new pair 'a blues
'cause there's a fire in tennessee
there's and earthquake in d.c.
but she's a winner
her blue ribbons are made of smoke

daddy's gonna make some money
daddy's gonna bring us honey to eat
he's in the kitchen
cookin' with gasoline
'cause he's a winner
his blue ribbons are made of smoke

ahh, ooh, ahh, ooh

sister's got her body
sister's got nobody to heal
her broken-hearted wheel
spinning till the end
when she's a winner
her blue ribbons are made of smoke

brother's got some soul for sale
brother's got some soul that could
save the world from itself
if he could save himself
he'd be a winner
his blue ribbons are made of smoke

blue ribbons are made of smoke

but as for me i've got these 88
as for me i've got these ivories
to keep me company
when i'm dead and gone
i'll be a winner
my blue ribbons are made of smoke

ahh, ooh, ahh, ooh

blue ribbons are made of smoke
our blue ribbons are made of...
