Still they thought about each other
|
All the time.

Said the woman to the man.

"When I left him I was happy,"
|
Said the woman to the child.
|
"When I left him I was happy,"
|
Said the woman to her child.
|
So I left him and was happy,
|
I was happy with his child.
|
|
"You won't know him when you meet him,"
|
Said the woman to the child.
|
"You won't know him if you meet him,"
|
Said the woman to the child.
|
But he met him and said, "Father,
|
You were father for a time,
|
I just wondered who you were in my mind."
|
|
"Well, I told you he's your father,"
|
Said the woman to the child.
|
"Well, I knew it, you would love him,"
|
Said the woman to her child.
|
And I loved him and I loved him
|
And was happy with our child.
|
What was it that made you
|
Treat us so unkind ?
|
|
"What's the problem, why 're you crying ?"
|
Said the woman to the man.
|
"He's your father, he's your father,"
|
Said the woman to her son.
|
"He's the problem, he's my father,
|
He was father for a time."
|
|
"When I die I'll be with him,"
|
Said the woman to her son.
|
"When I die you'll forgive me,"
|
Said the woman to the man.
|
So she did and was buried,
|
Buried with him for all time.
|

Said the woman to the man,
|
"And our children will have children,"
|
Said the woman to the man.
|
So they married and had children,
|
They had children for all time.
