Burthen
Pa says, “Young folks should get married”
Ma says, “Pa for once makes sense”
Ma says, “Sooner folks get started
Sooner more young folks commence to grow”
So, years now, that’s the dream I’ve carried
Me with someone warm and sweet
I say, “Young folks should get married”
But they can’t get married till they meet
