Dooley Jones was doomed since the day that he was born.
All because his maw2 was Sadie Jones.
Cruel words upon him ever since he was young,
"You ain't got no daddy, boy, you ain't no man's son."

Children heard the facts at home talked them up in school.
Teased him till his mind was bent and bruised.
(You ain't got no daddy, Dooley Jones.)
Weight upon his shoulder, a thorn stuck in his soul.
His body walks and talks, ah, but his mind has no control.

Dooley Jones, Dooley Jones,
You're no man's son, you're no man's child.
Springtime satisfaction, December's harvest wild.
(Ooo, yeah.)

Whoa.
(Ooo, ooo, ooo.)

(Yeah!)
Dooley walks the highway every day for miles.
Babb-a-lin' to birds flyin' by.
(Babbling to the birds as they fly by.)
Somewhere some man hides his eyes 'cause Dooley is his child.
Son of season's pleasure forever runnin' wild.

Dooley Jones, Dooley Jones,
You're no man's son, you're no man's child.
Springtime satisfaction, December's harvest wild.
