Sweetheart like You [Song]

SWEETHEART LIKE YOU
Composed by Bob Dylan
Performed by Guy Davis

The pressure's down, the boss ain't here, he's gone North for a little while
They say that vanity got the best of him, but he sure left here in style
By the way, that's a cute hat you're wearing and a smile so hard to resist
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

You know, I once knew a woman who looked like you
She wanted a whole man, not just a half
She used to call me Sweet Daddy when I was only a child
You kind of remind me of her when you laugh
In order to deal in this game, you got to make the queen disappear
And it's done with a flick of the wrist
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

You know, a woman like you should be at home, that's where you belong
Taking care of somebody nice who don't know how to do you wrong
Just how much abuse will you be able to take?
Well, there's no way to tell by the first kiss
But tell me baby,
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

You know you can make a name for yourself
You can hear the tires squeal
You can be known as the most beautiful woman
Who ever crawled across cut glass to make a deal.

You know, news of you has come down the line
Even before you came in the door
They say in your father's house, there's many, many mansions
Each one got a fireproof floor
Snap out of it baby, people are jealous of you
They smile in your face, but behind your back they hiss
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

You got to be an important person to be in here, honey
You got to done some evil deed
You got to have your own harem when you come in the door
You got to play your harp until your lips bleed.
They say patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings
Steal a little and they throw you in jail
Steal a lot and they make you king
There's one step down from here, baby
It's called the land of permanent bliss
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Guy Davis, for this rendition of Bob Dylan's song.

Sister?

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
