The day she died, the neighbours came to snicker
Well, that's what comes of too much pills and liquor
But when I saw her laid out like a queen
She was the happiest corpse I'd ever seen

And I remember how you held me the night my father died
I didn't have to tell you I just broke down and cried
You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life
And I just can't remember why we said goodbye

Sometimes a bottle of perfume
flowers and maybe some lace
Men brought louise 10 cent trinkets
Their intentions were easily traced
And everybody knew at times she cried
Ah but women like Louise they get by

Louise-written by Paul Siebel, performed by Leo Kotke

[last 3 posts: "corpse", "died", and "cried"... sheesh!]

What happened to that funny face
My little tomboy now wears satin and lace
I can't believe my eyes you're just a teenage dream
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

If I should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up before my very eyes
You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

-- Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen, recorded by Neil Sedaka

I'll get by
As long as I
Have you
Though there be rain
And darkness too
I'll not complain
I'll see it through

Hi, Connie

Louise, The sweetest girl I'll ever know.
I'd walk from Chicago,
to the gulf of Mexico.
You know the night time is the right time,
to be with the one you love, you know when night comes Baby,
God knows, you so far away, Louise...


Louise, John Lee Hooker

EDIT: Sigh. Please apply this post to Consuelo's about a half a mile back.

Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain,
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end,
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend,
But I always thought I'd see you, baby, one more time again.

Fire and Rain, James Taylor

I wanna live with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures I run in the night
You see us together, chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.

Wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
That's where flamingos fly
