Couple in the next room
3
Bound to win a prize
4
They've been goin' at it all night long
5
Well I'm tryin' to get some sleep
6
But these motel walls are cheap
7
Lincoln duncan is my name
8
And here's my song, here's my song
9
My father was a fisherman
10
My mama was a fisherman's friend
11
And I was born in the boredom and the chowder
12
So when I reached my prime
13
I left my home in the maritimes
14
Headed down the turnpike for new england, sweet new england
15
Holes in my confidence
16
Holes in the knees of my jeans
17
It's left without a penny in my pocket
18
Oo-o wee i's about as
19
Destituted as a kid could be
20
And I wish I wore a ring
21
So I could hock it I'd like to hock it
22
A young girl in a parking lot
23
Was preaching to a crowd
24
Singin sacred songs and
25
Reading from the bible
26
Well I told her I was lost
27
And she told me all about the pentecost
28
And I seen that girl as the road to my survi-ival
29
Just later on the very same night
30
When I crept to her tent with a flashlight
31
And my long years of innocence ended
32
Well she took me to the woods sayin'
33
"here comes somethin' and it feels so good!"
34
And just like a dog I was befriended
35
I was befriended
36
Oh, oh, what a night
37
Oh what a garden of delight
38
Even now that sweet memory lingers
39
I was playin' my guitar
40
Lying underneath the stars
41
Just thankin' the lord for my fingers
42
For my fingers
Paul Simon - American Tune (1975)
