"when architecture heals ..."

on a notion raised by

a reader of the previous posting

Pretty maids all in a row 

lined up

Outside my cabin door

I’ve never wanted any of ‘em wantin’ me

Except the girl 

from the red river shore.

Well I sat by her side and 

for a while I tried 

to make that girl my wife -

She gave me her best advice

and she said

Go home and lead a quiet life.

Well I been to the East and I been to the West

And I been out where the black winds roar

Somehow though I never did get that far

With the girl 

from the red river shore.

Well I knew when I first 

laid eyes on her

I could never be free

One look at her 

and I knew right away

She should always be with me.

Six blocks south of the Sherry and two east,

an easy walk between drinks and dinner,

you would find her

if you were 'hungry

and it were her world' . .
