Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
on the pillow where you lie
But I don't sense affection,
Your loyalty is not to me
Your daddy, he's an outlaw
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
and how to throw the blade
so no stranger does intrude
His voice, it trembles as he calls out
for another plate of food
Your sister sees the future
like your mama and yourself
You've never learned to read or write
there‘s no books upon your shelf
And your pleasure knows no limits,
your voice is like a meadowlark
But your heart is like an ocean,
