Steep In thee seat of tradition
       poor as a country man can be
readin' my paper for my world about me
lonely, without companion, my impression

wow; I think I've misjudged some things
whereas in my heart, what is important
is to find my mate, my wife, what sings
         change my life's importance


      say, may we live in peace
 with a thousand reasons to rejoice
 my health, wealth are before me
     portly or thin, indeed I see...

by choice, my Bible, my mate a perfect match
  so to Love, so governed by religious laws
traditionally so deep routed, such a great catch
