Well Miss Magnolia you just can't keep
Keep me to yourself
You know I been here way too long
You had me working all day long
No, I'm not cut out & I won't be found
And make a man for you
Well, if you see her make sure you tell
Tell her that I'm gone
To find the land beyond
Where I'll be free
The river bold in me
A rolling stone
But by and by I'll find my home
I wrote a letter in the mail it said,
"The steed don't need a mare
Dearest Magnolia
Well put flowers on the grave
& make the headstone read
We could get along
But we never did belong"
Well miss magnolia you just can't keep
Keep me to yourself
You know I've been here way too long
You had me working all day
No, I'm not cut out and I won't be found
And make a man for you
