Some men fawn and flatter,
Some men never look at you;
And that cleans up the matter.
Some men fawn and flatter,
Some men never look at you;
And that cleans up the matter.

My land is bare of chattering folk;The clouds are low along the ridges,
I think, no matter where you stray,That I shall go with you a way.
This level reach of blue is not my sea;Here are sweet waters, pretty in the sun,
Woman wants monogamy;Man delights in novelty.
