Or ditto on Hank Williams Sr.'s "My Buckets Got a Hole In It":

Well my bucket's got a hole in it
My bucket's got a hole in it
My bucket's got a hole in it
I can't get no beer.

I have often wondered whether or not this was to be constured concretely, that is, his bucket really does have a hole in it and he is sad,or. . .is the bucket a euphemism for his girl friend and she is cheating on him and he unable to enjoy intoxicating beverages as he once could because of his great sorrow. Or does "beer" represent sexual relations with his cheating lover, and he is unable to experience sexual joy (or maybe performance)because he fears he is being cuckolded.

Well, now, that's the correct way to approach Country & Western music! It's really very brainy stuff, full of double and triple entendre. Goes way over the heads of snobs. Lots of wildly popular rock songs were written by country western songwriters and it would shock rock and roll fans to death if they knew that.
