Joanna Newsom - Ribbon bows

Th^Fere is a sp^Cring, not far from ^Fhere The water r^Cuns both sweet and cl^Fear Both sweet and c^Dmlear, and co^Bbld: Could crack your bo^Cnes With ve^Bbins of g^Fold

I stood, a-w^Cagging, at the t^Fap; Just a-wa^Citing on the lagging, rising ^Fsap I held the co^Bbld tin ladle to my ^Glip At the Shrine of the Th^Cousand Arms I lowered my ^Bbeyes to s^Fip

What a bea^Gutiful d^Cmay to ca^Gtch my d^Cmrift Or be ca^Bbught ^Abup ^Bbin ^Ebit ^AbYou want your lo^Gve, ^FLove? C^Bbome and get your lo^Gve; I only t^Cook it back Because I th^Bbought you d^Fidn't

How my ears did r^Cing At the municipal p^Found From that old han^Cgdog To which I was bo^Fund: Curled 'round the bo^Dmttom rung Doesn't anybody w^Bbant you? Well, come on, d^Carlin I could use som^Bbeone like you ar^Found

I am not like ^Cyou, I ain't from this ^Fplace And I do reserve the ri^Cght To repeat all my same mi^Fstakes And, in the n^Dmight, like you I certainly bite and c^Bbhew What I can f^Cind And never s^Bbeem to lose the t^Faste

W^Ghat a horrible f^Cmace I f^Geel me m^Cmake Fo^Bbr Pet^Abe's^Bb sa^Ebke W^Abhat you have told m^Ge, I c^Fannot erase! (Though I keep on sa^Cying And I do be^Bblieve, it is not too l^Fate)

^AmAll day, you're has^Ebsling me with ^Ftri^Cmfles: B^Amlack nose of the d^Ebog, as c^Fold as a ^Cmrif^Bble I^Andicating, wi^Gth a nudge G^Fod, No ^EbGod. G^Bbod, No ^GGod Sw^Aeet, appraising e^Gye of the dog Blink ^Fonce if g^Ebod Tw^Bbice if no g^God

My m^Cmama may be as^Ghamed of ^Cmme With al^Bbl of ^Abmy ^Bbfin^Ebery: Car^Abrying on Whoo^Gping it up^F till the early morn Lost and l^Corn Among the ^Bbmadding rev^Felry! Sure, I can p^Cass Honey, I can p^Fass Particul^Carly when I start to tip my gl^Fass I'll be a sp^Dmort And have a go at that old s^Bbong

'Them city g^Cirls With their ribbon b^Bbows And their fancy s^Fash...'

But, though I get so s^Dmad (could swear the night Makes a mo^Bbtion to claim me Around that second ve^Crse) I reckon I've felt wo^Bbrse And still held ^Ffast But, later on, when I am ^Calone Alone at la^Fst Well I take my god to ta^Csk I take my god to t^Fask
