Horseshoe Rag

When out walking late one night,
I came across a pretty sight
dressed in red from head to toe,
someone I'd like to know.

She turned around and made a smile,
so I stuck around for a little while,
but when she said I had to pay,
my mind was mangled; I went away. 

On that same night, later on,
I hadn't had my load of fun.
Found myself lost on the street - 
man, my aching feet!

When times get rough, I have my stuff, 
but, honey baby, it ain't enough.
Found my way back to where you roam,
I said, "okay now, let's be alone."

You took my hand then, and you said,
"shall I give you head?"

Depravity

And I don't mind
if you is unkind,
and I don't mind 
if you can't unwind,
and I don't mind 
if you want to go fast,
and I don't mind 
if your love don't last,
and I don't mind 
if you want to go slow,
or if you just don't know,
or if you aren't well, 
or you just won't tell;
I don't mind,
no I don't,
and you know I won't ever mind.

I Don’t Mind

Your honey cried,
your honey lied,
your honey moaned,
your honey groaned,

"I feel so bad;
you're all I've had!
I feel so blue
'cause I'm with you!"

Your honey goes
where you don't know;
Your honey's gone
with someone.

Don't feel so sad;
your honey's glad!
Don't stick around;
your honey's found!

Your Honey

Down beside the road
Nearing your abode,
I call you;

If you don’t reply, 
Honey I will cry
All night long!

(Later…)

“Tell it to me straight, my friend, have I crossed a line
Crying out at half past ten for that love of mine?”

“I don’t rightly know,” says my good pal, Joe.
“Who can tell?” “I guess that only time!”

Many days had passed
When I wrote that lass
One last letter

Telling of my love
Kindled by above, 
Full of grace.

Not a single day had passed when I got one back,
Written out in heated red said, “you I cannot lack!”

Had to be a lie written by a spy,
Sick and cruel.

Sick and Cruel

It’s in the sun,
My only gun;
God mistook it one day
As if it was his own.

That yellow dress
That you have on
Sways and flows with the wind
Like fire in my sunny gun.

It’s in the sun,
My sunny gun;
God just took it one day
As if it was his own.

That star does shine
With what was mine;
I’ll be having it back
For keeping, in due time.

Sunny Gun

On the day of meeting you,
I thought I would surely die,
through and through!

There you stood, in all your glory,
looking out, from way up high,
down at me!

Had I lingered, I would have known
all the ways of love and battle
you have sown!

Now I’m bidding, “fare thee well!”
if we never meet again,
I know we will in hell!

Ode to Queen III

In the dark, on the street,
where everybody goes to meet,
I go, they go; it’s time
for me and mine, 
for you and yours.
In ancient time,
the Trojan horse,
it rose and fell;
it gorged the well
that is my brain;
I’ve gone insane.

Delusions I

Say I never shall or will
find that glowing jewel
once I called so cool,
up on Calvary Hill!

Through our prison’s windowsill
that you thought was locked,
I got up and I walked 
towards Calvary Hill!

I’d’ve sooner gone and killed 
my own loving babe,
if she had forbade
my going to Calvary Hill! 

Ain’t no chick or soothing pill
that could lure or sway
my desires away
from that Calvary Hill!

Winds that blew like hell until
my eyes seared in pain,
and the coldest rain
blew to Calvary Hill! 

In the rotten cross is sealed
the most precious stone
carved with devil bone
up on Calvary Hill!

Through sheer power of will,
knowing well I could,
I broke that holy wood
up on Calvary Hill!

Darkness then to me revealed
powers of unknown
once I held that stone.

I knew god had had his fill
when I cursed his name,
yet no lightning came 
down on Calvary Hill!

Calvary Hill

Oh, I was just a child when we first met that day;
now I’m still a child, but you’ve gone away!

Oh I had never drunk before you was all mine;
look at me now, honey, try and take my wine!

You never was like ice before my love went bust;
now you’re never nice, and I want your lust! 

Oh, I had never had a fire that burned so true;
now I got no fire cause I don’t got you!
