To tell the truth I fear the sting I fear the sting of youth I went to town I watched her on the floor Watched her 'till I couldn't take no more I wanna make her mine Take her to the river Take her somewhere to make To make the time But she was a man She ain't a her The whole goddamn town didn't know the half of her Her parents chose The doctor's know They let her grow up with that thing down below I took her down Didn't know at first I took off her skirt & went to go to work But she was a him & she didn't know With one blow I softly send the message home I took her down It didn't hurt Didn't see it coming, but it just got worse I lay her down by the lake What a way to find out she was really a fake I took her down She didn't know What goes up is also below I took her down It didn't hurt One hard blow & it won't be much work
