I want a man with a mind like a diamond I want a man who knows what’s best And if he could buy me the perfect long jacket, I’d be oh, so happy (been looking for almost two years, I should just learn to sew). ---

To each their own, I suppose. My wife always said she wants a man with a slow hand - with an easy touch. Someone who will take his time, not come and go in a heated rush. ---

So you people all seem to know a lot about relationships. I’ve got this problem with my man. You see, he wants to put my love upon a shelf. I said, “Baby, why you wanna treat me this way? I’m still your lover. I still feel the same way.” But he just told me a story about free milk and a cow. :rolleyes: What should I do? I want him real bad and I’m about to give in. ---

As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin’ man, he has chalked up many a mile. He’s read dozens of books about heroes and crooks, and he’s learned much from both of their styles. ---

I don’t know who’s son he was, or whether he got to Miami, but we picked up a boy just south of Mobile. Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal. She was sixteen, he was twenty-one and papa woulda shot him if he knew what he’d done. ---

That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today. Said he’d be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way. He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge, and she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin’ off the Tallahatchie Bridge. ---
