A Poem For My Little Lady |
She’s young and soft and kind |
And she deserves a whole lot better |
Than a guitar picking drifter |
Who never gave a damn |
And if loving me is all |
She ever wants some gonna let her |
And I’ve tried to be kind of man |
She thinks I am |
She makes those little kitten sounds |
And (that) trembles when I love her |
She makes me feel so bad and strong in me |
She whispers how she can not wait |
To be my baby’s mother |
She’s the only glimpse of God |
I’ve ever seen |
Her mama sure had warned her |
Never take out with a poet |
For poets travel rocky roads |
In search of truth and life |
I’m the only blemish on |
Her virgin soul but she don’t know it |
And I thank the Lord she’s lying gentle |
By my side tonight |
La-la-la-la-la-la-la |
I thank god she’s lying gentle, by my side tonight |
