Well, she threw me out just as pretty as you please.  
Pretty soon I’ll be scratchin’ fleas.  
So move it on over.  
Slide on over.  
Move over, nice dog, a bad old dog is movin’ in.

When all the others turned their backs and walked away, you can count on me to stay.

By the willows there we hung up our lives  
For our captors there required of us songs, and our tormentors mirth.  
But how can we sing, sing the Lord’s song, in a foreign land?
