& drag me to the
& throw me in the
& throw me
tub
& turn the cold water on & turn the
& tell me to wash
& tell me to wash
myself
& and the sheets & and the sheets
every night was a nightmare
every night was a nightmare
every night was a nightmare
later on she thought it was very funny
to put some kind of ointment
on my p~n~s

this was almost she was later discharged
unbearable from her job. but this has
this was almost it burned something
never changed my mind about
unbearable terrible her & what i wished i could
this was almost it burned something
have done to her and all the
unbearable terrible people who made fun of me

she lifted me, i could he speaks and the sound of his voice
have been as a light as a mouse is so sweet the birds hush their singing
we went up, up i could see and the melody
the square below
we went up, up, that he gave to me
men running, yelling, within my heart is ringing
the sheriff shooting at us
everybody everybody i’d stay in the garden with him
sore as sore as tho’ the night around me be falling
h~ll be~ h~ll be~ but he bids me go
cause i cause i thro’ the voice of woe
was free was free his voice to me is calling
i was flying
i was flying
i was flying and he walks with me
i was better and he talks with me
i was better and he tells me i am his own
i was better
than any of them and the joy we share
than any of them as we tarry there
than any of them none other has ever known

i loved my father but there were times
when this love and affection
i had for him
drained from my heart
like wasted water
whenever he would not try to understand my problems
give me a little consideration
& voice
& responsibility
i had to get away from him
i have always felt
a remarkable exhilaration being
among people with a purpose
and sense of dedication
to carry out that purpose
i felt this about you in your presence

i will try to tell
all i can about myself
though most of my early life
is vague to me~
up until
about my tenth birthday
my school years went quite the same
as most other boys my age
my home life was also normal
but as i told you before
i was hardly ever allowed
to leave my yard and visit with playmates
my father was always strict
in that line

we were always what you never down and out
would call semi~poor but several times on the verge of it

i had a girlfriend and i never once tried to touch her
i had a girlfriend anyway was but just kissing
she was a nice girl it was a real clean
she was a nice girl courtship
i had a girlfriend of course i told the boys
i had a girlfriend that i’d had a lot of girls…
she was a nice girl of course i told the boys
she was a nice girl that i’d had a lot of girls…

one thing i one thing i never told you about
never told you the clutter deal is this. i knew
one thing i about the clutter
there would be a girl there. i
never told you deal is this
think the main reason i went
one thing i about the clutter
there was not to rob them
never told you deal is this but to rape the girl. because
one thing i about the clutter
i thought a lot about it. i
never told you deal is this did make some advances toward
one thing i about the clutter
the clutter girl. but perry
never told you deal is this never gave me a chance
one thing i about the clutter
because i am more ashamed of
never told you deal is this them (these things i did)
than hanging…

my wife sued for divorce
i began thinking
i never really loved my wife
because if i had
i wouldn’t have done
all the things i’d done
so i never fought the divorce
i started drinking
and was drunk for almost a month
i neglected my business
spent more money than i earned
wrote bad checks
and in the end became a thief

my lawyer said
i should be as you can
truthful with you help me and i need help, as you know

i come to the garden alone
while the dew is still on the roses
and the voice i hear
falling on my ear
the son of god discloses
he speaks and the sound of his voice
is so sweet the birds hush their singing
and the melody
that he gave to me
within my heart is ringing

and he walks with me the boasts of heraldry, the pomp of pow’r
and he talks with me and all that beauty, all that wealth e’er gave
and he tells me i am his own

and the joy we share await alike the inevitable hour
as we tarry there the paths of glory lead but to the grave
none other has ever known

we hate the world
we hate the world
we hate the world
i’d stay in the garden with him we hate the world
tho’ the night around me be falling we hate the world
but he bids me go where is jesus? where?
thro’ the voice of woe where is jesus? where?

i come to the garden alone the bird is jesus!
while the dew is still on the roses the bird is jesus!
and the voice i hear the bird is jesus!
falling on my ear the bird is jesus!
the son of god discloses the bird is jesus!

and he walks with me the boasts of heraldry, the pomp of pow’r
and he talks with me and all that beauty, all that wealth e’er gave
and he tells me i am his own

and the joy we share await alike the inevitable hour
as we tarry there the paths of glory lead but to the grave
none other has ever known

and he walks with me the boasts of heraldry, the pomp of pow’r
and he talks with me and all that beauty, all that wealth e’er gave
and he tells me i am his own

and the joy we share await alike the inevitable hour
as we tarry there the paths of glory lead but to the grave
none other has ever known
