Dairymaid's Lament

Lyrics

Perforated figurine
Who's quiet drawing his britches
The longer way to go in by the barn

A simple dairymaid's lament
I know exactly what she meant
Could you begin to tell her no?

If overboard and after that
I hold her to the other
Later on I'll see what she can do

Are you ever really sure?
Can there be a reason?
Do you ever really speak at all?
