Edna Million in a drop dead suit Dutch Pink on a downtown train Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot I'm in the corner on the pouring rain Sixteen men on a dead man's chest And I've been drinking from a broken cup Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest I'm full of bourbon, I can't stand up Hey little bird, fly away home Your house is on fire, children are alone Hey little bird, fly away home Your house is on fire, your children are alone Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgan's head And I'm stepping on the devil's tail Across the stripes of a full Moon's head And through the bars of a Cuban jail Bloody fingers on a purple knife Flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife Admire the view from up on top of the mast Hey little bird, fly away home House is on fire, children are alone Hey little bird, fly away home House is on fire, your children are alone I said hey little bird, fly away home Your house is on fire, your children are alone Hey little bird, fly away home House is on fire, your children are alone Yellow sheets on a Hong Kong bed Stazybo horn and a Slingerland ride To the carnival, is what she said A hundred dollars makes it dark inside Edna Million in a drop dead suit Dutch Pink on a downtown train Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot I'm in the corner on the pouring rain Hey little bird, fly away home Your house is on fire, your children are alone Hey little bird, fly away home Your house is on fire, your children are alone

A faixa “Jockey Full of Bourbon” abre a cena inicial do filme *Down by Law* (1986), de Jim Jarmusch.
Jim Jarmusch, além de dirigir, também atua no longa‑metragem que usou a música de Tom Waits na estreia.
A inclusão da canção na abertura do filme ajudou a associar o estilo sombrio de Waits ao cinema indie dos anos 80.
A trilha sonora de *Down by Law* contou com “Jockey Full of Bourbon” como um dos primeiros exemplos de colaboração entre Waits e Jarmusch.
