No One Told Me - Henry Jamison

No one told me all the ways of the world

How could they

They are sundry and immense

The truancy came easily

Till I found my Galleons Lap

And I had to turn my back

On that world

Come down in the morning

With the tiger lily girl

I was once a champion of

That way with the world

No one told me there was something in my teeth

Skin of a peach, till she told me

And no one told me how the love would grow

Till she said so

My car I couldn’t drive

Growing pains in my bones

Oh I sat there paralyzed

Like a man in a snow blow

Come down in the morning

With the tiger lily girl

I was once a champion of

That way with the world
