Somebody had my real name.
I like girls and I like football and I like Ripple.
My name is August West, and I approve of this message.

Rat

Old man down
way down
down, down by the docks of the city,
Blind and dirty
asked me for a dime--
dime for a cup of coffee
I got no dime but
I got time to hear his story:

My name is August West
and I love my Pearly Baker best
more than my wine
...more than My wine
more than my maker
though he's no friend of mine

Everyone said
I'd come to no good
I knew I would
Pearly believed them

Half of my life
I spent doin' time for
some other fucker's crime
Other half found me stumbling around
drunk on burgundy wine

But I'll get back
on my feet someday
The good Lord willing
if He says I may
'cause I know the life I'm
livin's no good
I'll get a new start
live the life I should

I'll get up and fly away
I'll get up and
fly away...
...fly away

Pearly's been true
true to me, true to my dying day he said
I said to him:
I'm sure she's been
I said to him:
I'm sure she's been true to you

I got up and wandered
Wandered downtown
nowhere to go
just to hang around
I got a girl
named Bonny Lee
I know that girl's been true to me
I know she's been
I'm sure she's been
true to me

Since this is your first post here, I will ask you to review the thread header (which is an active rule set) and let you off with a warning for your first offense.

For others on the thread who are used to me being more strict with the rules, I hope you will bear with me as I soften toward new members. We are becoming a more mature culture and need to allow some tolerance as newbees climatize. If I find that to be a mistake on my part, I will return to the strictness for new members that I applied to all of you when we began this.
