    (continued from previous page)
    She pulled the rider down
    The first thing was made of him
    It a bird so wild Hold fast hold fast
    I am the father of your child.
    Saying if I knew the last night
    Of three hours before today
    I would take out your precious heart
    And put in a lump of clay.
