“I took her from rags right through to stitches,
Oh baby, tonight we sleep in separate ditches.”

“Separation

Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.”

“Oh, If I should die tonight
Oh baby, though it be far before my time
I won't die blue, sugar yeah
'Cause I've known you.”

“Well, long tall Sally, she's built for speed,
She's got everything that uncle John need.
Oh baby, yes baby, woo baby, havin' me some fun tonight.”

“Mom's eyes blazed. "Are you sleeping with her?"

Oh, god. Did we have to do this here? Now? "Well, actually," I smirked, "we don't get a lot of sleep.”

“Nothing would sleep in that cellar, dank as a ditch”

“Oh baby, don't it feel like heaven right now,
Don't it feel like something from a dream.”

“I took my baby on a Saturday bang,
Boy, is that girl with you?
Yes, we're one and the same.
Well, I believe in miracles,
And a miracle has happened tonight,
But if you're thinking about my baby,
It don't matter if you're black or white.”

“A baby was sleeping,
Its mother was weeping,
For her husband was far on the wild-raging sea.”

“So we raise her up every morning
And we bring her down slow every night,
We don't let her touch the ground,
And we fold her up right.
On second thought
I do like to brag.
Cause I'm mighty proud of
That Ragged Old Flag.”
