Someone chose her above all other women they had known
I can only wonder what it must be like to be

It’s never been me
If ever I see a chosen one I feel ugly”

Which surprised me very much

For her melancholy

Than only her eyes”

I watched her face and lips and thought how it would be a pleasure to strike her, send my fist with all force against her nose and lips.”

To bring me love, oh sweet little thing

Me eyes they close, me heart she flip
Havana moon, Havana moon”
