  His bed is made the colors fade
   organ solo: +]
  His eyes once wet are dry
  The naked muse who sits and chews
  Tobacco off a tree
  Removes his shoes, gives way to booze
  And searches  endlessly
  See  the naked jumberlack
  Sip  his aphrodisiac
  Cotton  picking farmers  three
  Though  I lost my weathervane
  And  of sense I have  one grain
  I'm  content sipping lemon  tea
 
  His eyes  once wet  are
 -- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
