  1. Oh, I'm a little old country boy
    Just a young'un in my teens
    I don't gamble, drink or swear
    And she did this to me

    Mama said son you're going to fall
    For that common cajun queen
    She's going to take you for your all
    And that's what she done done to me

  2. I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school.
    Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool.
    Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand.
    Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face.

  3. Well, I'd left home just a week before
    And I'd never, ever kissed a woman before
    Lola smiled and took me by the hand
    She said, "Little boy, gonna make you a man"
    Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
    But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
    And so is Lola

  5. I am a man of constant sorrow.
    I've seen trouble all my days.

    For six long years I've been in trouble,
    No pleasure here on earth I've found.

    I love it when what seems like an innocuous post generates a bunch of cool responses.
