Smart lady in a pink dress- show me how to be free!
Your father
was as tough as mine, tell me what to say!
Did you
tremble in fear, sometimes, at the thought
of talking to him?
Did you
always obey even when you don’t agree with him?
Did you ever
hear him dream aloud of the cows he was to bring him?
Did your mama
ever try
telling
stories of happy endings?
O! And did
you cry?
Do you really
think she cared
if your story
ended differently_
with nothing
to smile about but the cows?
And
does your
husband
treat you
well? And you mean he paid dowry
even more
than my father wants for me now?
Does your
father know he is powerful and respected because of you?
Tell me he
knows!
Smart lady in a beautiful blue ride,
show me how
to be free!
Your father
was just as tough as mine
And, you know
the way
To the happy ending!
