Joni Mitchel , Joan Baez ? i always confuse the two ,
but i'm sure its one of them ,
i think the song i quoted is called , ' Raised On Robbery "
or something to do with robbery , anyway , its from the early 70's era ,
oh look , i found it %^D
Raised On Robbery
He was sitting in the lounge of the Empire Hotel
He was drinking for diversion
He was thinking for himself
A little money riding on the Maple Leafs
Along comes a lady in lacy sleeves
She says...
"Let me sit down
You know, drinkin' alone's a shame
It's a shame, it's a crying shame
Look at those jokers
Glued to that damn hockey game
Hey honey - you've got lots of cash
Bring us round a bottle
And we'll have some laughs
Gin's what I'm drinking
I was raised on robbery
I'm a pretty good cook
I'm sitting on my groceries
Come up to my kitchen
I'll show you my best recipe
I try and I try but I can't save a cent
I'm up after midnight, cooking
Trying to make my rent
I'm rough but I'm pleasin'
I was raised on robbery
We had a little money once
They were pushing through a four lane highway
Government gave us three thousand dollars
You should have seen it fly away
First he bought a '57 Biscayne
He put it in the ditch
He drunk up all the rest
That *****
His blood's bad whiskey
I was raised on robbery
You know you ain't bad looking
I like the way you hold your drinks
Come home with me honey
I ain't asking for no full length mink
Hey, where you going...
Don't go yet...
Your glass ain't empty and we just met
You're mean when you're loaded -
I was raised on robbery"
- Joni Mitchell

It's a Joni Mitchell song form the album "Court and spark"...I'm a
huge fan of Joni's...I love her albums,paticularly the ones from the
60's and 70's...Right now I'm listening to "Don Juan's reckless
daughter"...I saw her in concert about 5 years ago,and she has
completly lost her voice...I really love her voice from 30 years ago...
