Original song
Lyrics:
He worked and she stayed home,
The children were long gone and grown,
They had bred their flesh and bone,
And lived together and alone,
He bought lunch from the market place,
He did so, patiently, every day,
The girls at the counter spoke of his face,
For everyone else moved with indefinite haste,
They had taken comfort in their common roles,
And though trying times had taken their toll,
They knew it only strengthened their souls.
She was young when love lodged in her brain,
The cause of which she could not ascertain,
But the day they both boarded the train,
She knew with him she would remain,
They had no choice but to elope,
Escape to any new place full of hope,
Every day they learned how to cope,
As they slid through life's slippery slope,
They lived and loved and drank,
Filling pages formerly blank,
Never afraid of walking the plank
Bravely, together they steadily sank,
They had taken comfort in their common roles,
And though trying times had taken their toll,
They knew it only strengthened their souls.
And though trying times had taken their toll,
They knew it only strengthened their souls.
He worked and she stayed home,
The children were long gone and grown,
They had bred their flesh and bone,
And lived together and alone.
