The Short Little River Song
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.
I went by the brook and seen you there
Oh yeah, I seen you there
I seen the fish lookin' at me
Oh yeah, lookin' at me
And I never knew it would be this hard
But I am you and what I see is me
This is one of those moments
That I would always think you all day
