Cinderella

Last December I met a girl She took a likin' to me Said she loved me But she didn't know the meanin' of the word She imagined love to be grand Me holding her hand and Whisperin' sweet things and Cooin' softly like a songbird Then one mornin' she came to me With a tear in her eye And a sigh on her breath and Lord She said, "Hon, I'm heavy with child" And I said, "God damn, girl, can't you see That I'm breakin' my back Just tryin' to keep my head above water And it's turnin' me wild?" Cinderella, can't you see? Don't want your company You better leave this mornin', leave today Take your love and your child away No, no-no-no-no, no-no-no No, no-no-no-no, no-no-no No, no-no-no-no, no-no-no No, no-no-no, no, no-no-no No, no-no-no-no, no-no-no No, no-no-no-no Whoa-whoa, no Whoa-whoa, no Whoa-whoa, no Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa, no Rockin' a chair on my front porch Well, I'm thinkin' about All the things that I did as a young man Now that I'm old And I remember her and the boy Did he have all the toys and the joys That a young man should have Before he gets too old? Cinderella, couldn't you see? I didn't want your company You should've left that mornin', left that day Took your love and your child away
