The Raconteurs – Carolina Drama Lyrics 15 years ago
Its real easy but you have to first read the lyrics from The ickens County Bandits song called "Ask the Milkman"

It starts out - "The milk man came late last night.
Mama let him in and turned out the light."
The mom was sleeping with the Milkman. Which would make 3 people she was/is sleeping with:
1 - Preacher
2 - Boyfriend
3 - Milkman

"Momma's boyfriend came back to town
All he does is smack her around"

Same as what Jake White said about the BF.

"Sunday I get to meet my pa"

Again same as White said when Billy met his Dad.

"Mama's boyfriend's blood, Is soakin' in the mud"

Billy hitting him with the milk bottle and killing him.
The end is the real part to listen to.

"The milk man delivers the milk late today
The door is locked but he gets to walk away"

That last two lines means this. The milkman was late, and the door to the house was locked. Go back to Whites version where he said Billy turned around and locked the door. Now in the original version the last line is "The door is locked but he gets to walk away." The milkman saw what was happening, turned and ran, his hat flys off his head when Billy's brother picks it up and walks in with it. The milkman was lucky that the door was locked or he would have been killed by Billy as well so that there is no witnesses. The bottle of gin means nothing. And Whites last line about go and ask the milkman, is just stating the title of the original song. Becuase the milkman knows what really happened.
