Straw Foot Lyrics
I guess you didn't hear me when I told you for the first time
Well don't you worry
it won't be the last
All I need, a floorboard and a wooden shoe
Step aside and
let my lady through
Hey foot, straw foot
Low we lay 'em down
Hey foot, straw foot
Up an back around
See the high priest, he took my place
When the judge looks to me, he saw a son's face
Not gonna join you in your
tower of babble, boy
Tired of that talkin' and I'm
sick of that noise
Hey foot, straw foot
Low we lay 'em down
Hey foot, straw foot
Coverin' ground
I am not alone an looks can be deceivin'
When we get down to it
You're talkin' when you should be leavin'
I've been to Nebraska
It reminded me of Spain
All the questions loaded
All my answers same
Hey foot, straw foot
Low we lay 'em down
Hay foot, straw foot
Coverin' ground
Let us not mince our words, let's say it true this time
I need your forgiveness
Just like you need mine
Tell me how it is that you don't want what He's given
It ain't no sin, son
To be forgiven
Hey foot, straw foot
Low we lay 'em down
Hey foot, straw foot
All over town
Well don't you worry
it won't be the last
All I need, a floorboard and a wooden shoe
Step aside and
let my lady through
Low we lay 'em down
Hey foot, straw foot
Up an back around
When the judge looks to me, he saw a son's face
Not gonna join you in your
tower of babble, boy
Tired of that talkin' and I'm
sick of that noise
Low we lay 'em down
Hey foot, straw foot
Coverin' ground
When we get down to it
You're talkin' when you should be leavin'
I've been to Nebraska
It reminded me of Spain
All the questions loaded
All my answers same
Low we lay 'em down
Hay foot, straw foot
Coverin' ground
I need your forgiveness
Just like you need mine
Tell me how it is that you don't want what He's given
It ain't no sin, son
To be forgiven
Low we lay 'em down
Hey foot, straw foot
All over town

The 'hey foot, straw foot' metaphor is very good
Hay foot ( not hey, but whatever) straw foot, is an old term from the army, back when few people new left from right, they would tie hay to one foot and call out "Hay foot straw foot" instead of "left, right". I beleive the term Hay foot then came to mean someone who is "green" or inexperienced.
