Story behind the song
Written while hanging off the back of a garbage truck as it roared up Route 17 towards the landfill that was to became Giant Stadium.
Lyrics
I try to get near my baby, but she tells me to go away,
I try to get near my baby, but she tells me “Georgie, go away today.”
She says, “Honey, you stink so much,
From workin' on that Garbage Truck.”
CHORUS:
I got them Garbage Truck Blues, don't know what to do,
I got them Garbage Truck Blues, still don't know what to do.
I been down and out of luck,
Stuck here workin’ on this Garbage Truck
I met a dog named Willie the other day, in O'Brien's backyard,
I met a dog named Willie the other day, he was a sad-eyed, brown hound-dog,
Poor Willie, he looked so sad;
My leg was the best meal poor Willie ever had.
CHORUS
You say you heard a noise out by your trash-can, babe, this mornin' at
6:22AM
You heard a noise out by your trash can, so early this mornin' at
6:22 AM
That wuz me out there; I wuz singin'.
Singin' those Garbage Truck Blues again.
You sound like a man in your early 30s singing that song :) Loved it.
