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

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.

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

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.
