our love is strange
its like a long chains
we have so much to gain
if we stick
there's nuthin can pick
us a part
our love as smooth as lard
for each other we were born
BABY OR LOVE IS
strong
In solitary, True Thomas lies under Eldon tree
Then came Queen of Elf for a plea.
Her velvet and silk seduces the eyes at a glance.
Astonished Thomas thought he was in trance
"My Thomas, I came to thee not by accident
Thou shall travel with me to beautiful land of the ancient
And seven years shall thou spend in my luxurious land
Caressing my body with thy amorous hands"
They rode to immortality, leaving the world behind
With her horse that fly faster than the wind
My Thomas, she said, "I love and trust in thee,
Everything thou shall see shall remain in tongue of thee
Or thou shall thy home see not again
And forever serve my lustful gain"
Seven years of love and bliss past
Those years to Thomas seemed so fast
In the Elf paradise was a graceful garden
Where grown an apple of tongue of virgin
"My Thomas, take this apple for thy wages,
To thee it will bestow the tongue of ages
Thy poetic prophecies shall all come to be
And thou shall forever be in glee"

Sam Houston was governor of Tennessee,
When he went off to live with the Cherokee,
Kicked out of his bed by his wife so he went away…
Sat under a tree and he got drunk ‘most every day.
Tiana was Scottish, she was Indian, too.
When she saw that big man, she knew just what to do—
She kissed him, and she caressed him, and she tended his broken heart.
Sam Houston, he told her, “Tiana, we’ll never part.”
“Tiana, I will always love you, Tiana, I will always care.”
Sam Houston loved Tiana, and you know she loved him…
Ah, but that was a long, long time ago…
Texas came calling, it pounded like a drum.
Sam Houston he answered, they knew he’d come.
“Remember the Alamo” became his battle-cry…
Sam Houston and Texas, and the Lone Star was flying high.
The Cherokee were shoved right off their land—
Four thousand of them died, I understand.
And General Sam Houston, he shared their pain;
(And the grave of Tiana was washed away with the rain…)
“Tiana, I will always love you. Tiana, I will always care.”
Sam Houston loved Tiana, and you know that she loved him…
Ah, but that was a long, long time ago…

Her love betrayed, that's how Ruth died.
All through her life, she'd been denied.
Raped by father, Ruth felt the shame
And from then on accepted blame
For all the men for whom she cried.
Ruth gave her love to one who lied.
In anguish that she tried to hide,
To her abuser, Ruth then came
Her Love betrayed.
A thousand people for her cried
And kept a vigil when she died.
Her lover killed; a bloody game
Was ended in her trial of shame.
Ruth Ellis hanged for homicide.
Her Love betrayed.
Ruth Ellis, 28, was the last woman to be executed in England.
She was hanged after killing her abusive lover in 1955.
