Duncan |
| Couple in the next room bound to win a prize |
| They’ve been going at it all night long |
| Well, I’m trying to get some sleep |
| But these motel walls are cheap |
| Lincoln Duncan is my name, and here’s my song |
| Here’s my song |
| My father was a fisherman |
| My mama was the fisherman’s friend |
| And I was born in the boredom and the chowder |
| So when I reached my prime, I left my home in the Maritimes |
| Headed down the turnpike for New England |
| Sweet New England |
| Holes in my confidence |
| Holes in the knees of my jeans |
| I was left without a penny in my pocket |
| Ooh-oowee, I was about destituted as a kid could be |
| And I wished I wore a ring so I could hock it |
| I’d like to hock it |
| A young girl in a parking lot was preaching to a crowd |
| Singing sacred songs and reading from the Bible |
| Well, I told her I was lost |
| And she told me all about the Pentecost |
| And I seen that girl as the road to my survival |
| I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know |
| Just later on the very same night |
| When I crept to her tent with a flashlight |
| And my long years of innocence ended |
| Well, she took me to the woods |
| Saying here comes something and it feels so good |
| And just like a dog, I was befriended |
| I was befriended |
| Oh, oh, what a night |
| Oh what a garden of delight |
| Even now that sweet memory lingers |
| I was playing my guitar lying underneath the stars |
| Just thanking the Lord for my fingers |
| For my fingers |
| I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know |
