I heard, could be, a Hey there from the wing,
and I went on: Miss Bessie soundin good
that one, that night of all,
I feelin fair myself, taxes & things
seem to be back in line, like everybody should
and nobody in the snow on call
so, as I say, the house is givin hell
to Yellow Dog, I blowin like it too
and Bessie always do
when she make a very big sound-after, well,
no sound- I see she totterin- I cross which stage
even at Henry's age
in 2-3 seconds: then we wait and see.
I hear strange horns, Pinetop he hit some chords,
Charlie start Empty Bed,
they all come hangin Christmas on some tree
after trees thrown out- sick-house's white birds',
black to the birds instead.
