Redemption
Mama had a epidural
hoping I would be a girl.
The night was black, the sky was blue
the darker clouds are showing noon
I heard screaming, the doctor shouts,
Didn't give in,
I came out.
And here I am.
I found my way, down the street.
Chicken Hawks, filled with meat.
The man was big, the gun was loaded,
she had cash, but never showed it,
I heard screamin', bleeding throat
and baby I got on that boat.
And here I am.
Now im up here in the trees
shaking off the bugs and fleas
the days are long, the sun is beatin'
hoping I would be a girl.

The Flandyke Shore
I went unto my love's chamber window
Where I often had been before
Just to let her know unto Flandyke Shore
Unto Flandyke Shore
Never to return to England no more
Never to return to England no more
I went unto my love's chamber door
Where I never had been before
There I saw a light springing from her clothes
Springing from her clothes
Just as the morning sun when first arose
Just as the morning sun when first arose
As I was walking on the Flandyke Shore
Her own dear father I did meet
My daughter she is dead he cried
She is dead he cried
And she's broken her heart all for the love of thee
So I hove a bullet on to fair England's shore
on to fair England's shore
Just where I thought that my own true love did lay
