Ribbon Bows Lyrics

Cover art for Ribbon Bows lyrics by Joanna Newsom

I have some corrections, but a note that I'm not entirely sure about them either (they're in caps):

i held the COLD TIN LID up to my lip at the shrine of a thousand arms, MY LORD, my eyes DO SIT

you want your love? LOVE, come and get your love i only took it back because i thought you DID

how my ears did ring at the municipal pound AT that OLD HANGDOG toOoOoOoOoOoO WHICH I WAS BOUND CURL ROUND THE FIRE OF LOVE WHEN NOBODY WANTS YOU well come on darlin i could use someone like you around

i am not like you i aint from this place and i do reserve the right to repeat ALL OF my same MISTAKES but in the night LIKE YOU I'LL CERTAINLY BITE AND CHEW well i can find i never seem to lose the taste

what a horrible face I FEEL ME MAKE

all day you hassle me with TRIFLES black nose of the dog as cold as a rifle INDICATING WITH A NUDGE GOD NO GOD GOD NO GOD sweet APPRAISING eye of the dog BLINK ONCE IF GOD TWICE IF NO GOD

MY MOMMA MAY BE ashamed of me with all of my finery carrying on WHOOPING IT ON to the early morn lost alone among the maddening revelry SHOOT I CAN PASS honey i CAN pass particularly when i STOP TO TIP MY GLASS

i'll be a sport and have a go at that old song SINGING UNABASHED about THE city girls with the ribbon bows

well i take my god to task i take my DOGGONE god to task.

Cheers!
