***** <br>Schwer zu deutender Song aus dem 68er "John Wesley Harding" Album:<br><br>As I went out one morning<br>To breathe the air around Tom Paine's,<br>I spied the fairest damsel<br>That ever did walk in chains.<br>I offer'd her my hand,<br>She took me by the arm.<br>I knew that very instant,<br>She meant to do me harm.<br><br>"Depart from me this moment,"<br>I told her with my voice.<br>Said she, "But I don't wish to,"<br>Said I, "But you have no choice."<br>"I beg you, sir," she pleaded<br>From the corners of her mouth,<br>"I will secretly accept you<br>And together we'll fly south."<br><br>Just then Tom Paine, himself,<br>Came running from across the field,<br>Shouting at this lovely girl<br>And commanding her to yield.<br>And as she was letting go her grip,<br>Up Tom Paine did run,<br>"I'm sorry, sir," he said to me,<br>"I'm sorry for what she's done." <br><br> |
