You Were Barefoot
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You were barefoot roaming the streets
Now I've got you, you need a chauffeur
You were barefoot picking up pennies
Now I've got you, you ask for dollar bills
You were dirt poor gathering wild herbs
Now I've got you, you need golden rings
I sentenced *Death to a thousand years in jail
So you’d be free to spend time with me
I rolled my dice and I got six and five
The cops in the corner rolled me five by five
