From the recording Songs Of Old Montgomery
Lyrics
ODE TO ARMA KONG
Words and Music by John Cannon
Yesterday, I put myself on the line
I was naked, I was cold, I had broken from the fold
I was new I was old I was looking to be sold
Yesterday, yesterday
You were trying not to let friendship
I believe that you said what you felt you must say
Put it down and I'll listen one more time
Put it down and I'll listen one more time
You said someday you're gonna’ bring me the one that's just right
I said it's here right now, but this time I'll bow
In the meantime you know, I can't help but grow
I'll put it down and we'll listen one more time
I'll put it down and we'll listen one more time
Say Billy,
I feel I was playing the fool
Like a man in the sun I was pointing the gun
You were trying to reason, he said "please cease and
Put it down and I'll listen one more time
Put it down and I'll listen one more time"
I'll put it down and we'll listen one more time
