Tumbling and rolling, strutting and strolling Watching the moon go bowling across the sky Big dipper wonders why Orion is bending Wonder what his mother was mending on his cloak Go for half broke, or just half of that, a casual chat Fried up pork fat and biscuits, just missed it This ship is listing, but I'm listening, commissioning blues Nothing to do, listened to how the grass grew, dared and flew Always a little to short, change and the sort, burned my last Newport Watch me sport a smile, strutting and strollin' for another mile
