One Single Impression: The Stranger

The Stranger

He was tall dark and handsome
tall I like, handsome oh-oh
worries me the dark where come
far away those lands of woe

Him she loves top on her mind
can't be wrong with all her heart
he's so sweet gentle and kind
don't you please take us apart

Honey dear you're still so young
not for you he's much older
round the world I know his mind
just his kind makes him bolder

Slipped away the two of them
now she's lost her heart and soul
will she know heartache from him
mother's lost her only foal

Heifer's in expecting way
way too young new mom and self
oh they say sin doesn't pay
mated well swells master's pelf

  11. I wondered where that was going.

    Reminds me of when my dad, who raised herefords, bought a charolais bull. We had the cutest pink and white calves!
