Your cheatin’ heart

what cheating rogues we are already married to time hard heart like a contract none of us understood but the undertaker who would not be content with fair words

Late love song

the beauty of her naked neck I admire it as we eat she loves horses and I am in pain from riding I have lived a very orderly life a cook may find my heart too old and hard

Out of shape

alone with my pleasant rot I will not be fit like talk from upstairs the rough music of the heart
