Wast in’ a (A)way a gain in Mar ga (D)ri ta ville, search in’ for my lost shak er of salt. Some peo ple claim that there’s a (D)wom (A)an to blame, but I know hell, it’s no bod y’s fault. I Don’t know the rea son I stayed here all sea son with noth ing to show but to brand new tat too. But there’s it’s a real beau ty, and Mex i can cu tie; that how it got coc here I have n’t a clue.
