it's a great song, and i'm going to guess it's meaning is it about a man dissaproving of changing times, changing society, and doesn't like the change? illicit behaviour? etc?
make mine old time or i'll spit in your eye.
he observes depravity. secret love, prostitution, alcohol.
he wants to take it out on a woman. looking for a suitable bitch to crucify.
telling tales of white gardinia (secret love?)
seeing blow job blues and boogaloos (lolipop sucking and dirty latin dancing?)
ten little nigger boys went out to dine, one choked his little self and then there were nine. nine little nigger boys sat up very late, one overslept himself and... well these ten little nigger boys hooked on absinthe and daffodils
absinthe banned in united states and many other countries in the early 1900s, it had become associated with illicit behaviour.
he wants to hide from it all. horrified to step outside hard to keep up his guard.
blah blah blah
sees himself as a gallant or chivalrous man. wants us all to testify.
