it ain't easy to swallow
it sticks in the throat
she gave her heart to the man
in the long black coat

SALUTE

May Happiness
pursue you,

catch you
often, and,

should it
lose you,

be waiting
ahead, making

a clearing
for you.

-----a.r. ammons

ONLY IN AMERICA

"Only in America
Can a guy from anywhere
Go to sleep a pauper and wake up a millionaire

Only in America
Can a kid without a cent
Get a break and maybe grow up to be President

Only in America
Land of opportunity, yeah
Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me

Only in America
Can a kid who's washin' cars
Take a giant step and reach right up and touch the stars

Only in America
Could a dream like this come true
Could a guy like me start with nothing and end up with you.

Only in America
Land of opportunity, yeah
Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me
"

Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann
lyrics as recorded by Jay & The Americans

New Minglewood Blues
~N. Lewis

I was born in the desert
Raised in a lion's den
I was born in the desert
Raised in a lion's den
Oh, my number one occupation
Is fooling around with all the men

Well, I'm a wanted girl in Texas,
Busted jail and I'm gone for good.
Said, I'm a wanted girl in Texas,
Busted jail and I'm gone for good.
Well, the sheriff couldn't catch me,
But his little boy sure wish she could.

Well now the doctor call me crazy,
Some says I am, some says I ain't,
Well now the doctor call me crazy,
Some says I am, some says I ain't,
Preacher man call me sinner
But his little boy calls me saint.

Well a couple shots of whiskey
Men `round here start looking good,
I said a couple shots of whiskey
Men `round here start looking good,
A couple more shots of whiskey,
I'm going down to Minglewood.

I was born in the desert
Raised in a lion's den
I was born in the desert
Raised in a lion's den
Yes and my number one occupation
Is fooling around with all the men

And I'll do it, do it again
I said my number one occupation
Is fooling around with all the men
