Submission Sam

submission Sam come a-
limping along with a
smile and a whimper a-
shambling along
what on earth do you want me to do
if my shame was a shiver in an old man
it would shake the poor thing all the doggone time

o lord have mercy on my wicked soul
i’ve been trampled on since i was born

submission sam come bull-
dozing along with a
grin and a dog whip a-
trampling along.
what on earth do i want you to do
if my shame was a ring in a bull’s nose
it would tear the poor thing all the doggone time
