John Prine :
I knew a girl who was almost a lady.
Had a way with all men in her life.
Every inch of her blossomed in beauty.
She was born on the fourth of July
She lived in an aluminum house trailer
and worked in a jukebox saloon
She took all the money I give her
Just to see the old man in the moon.
*****
Gone too soon as Molly Ivens would have said.
