Plan Ahead

When Sally came to stay
They said “Boy, she’s gonna leave”
They knew I’d been in sway
You see, to girls who oft deceive

But that’s not an option
For sweet Miss Sally and me
I’ve a few precautions
Should her heart get a mind to flee

Cords will bind her ankles
A frown will adorn her lips
Her hair all in tangles
As bruises decorate her hips

If ever she should dream
Of a life beyond my sight
I’ll show her what I mean
About a love that’s worth the fight
