Shenendoah River

Well I've had a sleepless night or two My baby's gone what am I gonna do? Just a poor mans' son and plain to see But my lord he looked good to me Dark-sided moon got ahold of him Took him for a midnight swim Took his love and it took his life Cut him from me like a cold steel knife The Shenendoah waters,they roll so cold And the sun burns down like a gamblers' gold But the demon depths never made a sound The night they took my baby down Shenendoah River's beautiful to see But the heartless river took him from me Now my baby's gone what am I gonna do? Shenendoah cut my heart in two

Your poems have a musical essence. I can take a guitar and roll with it.
