She's a real left-winger
'Cause she been down south
And held peasants in her arms
She said, "I could tell you stories
that could make you cry"
"What about you?"
I said, "Me too"
"I could tell you a story that will make you cry"

A C G A
I've been tired! I've been tired!
C G A C
I've been tired! I've been tired!
I tell a tale of a girl, but I call her a woman
She's a little bit older than me
Strong legs, strong face, voice like milk
Breasts like a cluster of grapes
I can't escape her ways
She raised me
She'll make you feel like Solomon
Beware your babies even if you have no one
And while we're at it, baby
Why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?
You don't want to sleep after
setting my loins on fire
But that's okay, because—
