Couple in the next room,
bound to win a prize.

They've been going at it all
night long.

I'm trying to get

Lincoln Duncan is my name and here's my song, here's my song.
My
father was a fisherman, my mama was a fisherman's friend.
And I was born in the boredom of the
chowder.
So when I reached my prime, I left my home in the Maritimes,
And headed down the
turnpike to New England, sweet New England.
Holes in my confidence, holes in the knees of
my jeans.
I was left without a penny in my pocket.
Oh we I was bout as destituted as a kid
could be.
And I wish'd I'd wore a ring so I could hock it, I'd like to hock
it.
Seen a young girl in a parking lot, preaching to a crowd.
Singing sacred
songs and reading from the Bible.
Well I told her I was lost and she told about the
Pentecost.
Seen that girl as the road to my survival.
Just later on the very same
night, I crept to her tent with a flashlight.
And my long years of innocence ended.
She
took me to the woods saying "Here comes something and it feels so good".
And just like a dog I
was befriended, I was befriended.
Oh what a night, oh what a garden of delight.
Even
now that sweet memory lingers.
I was playing my guitar and lying underneath the
stars.
Just thanking the Lord for my fingers, for my fingers.
