Then we met a wealthy man in boston
And he paid her a lot because he loved her,
But I had to keep a watch on anna
Who was too loving, but she loved another,
And she paid him a lot because she loved him.
So I said: "cheat the man who protects you
And youve lost half your value then:
He may pay once although he suspects you,
But he wont pay time and time again.
Girls can have their fun with money
When theyve no provider they must face;
But for girls like us, its not funny
If we ever even once forget our place."
"dont try to sit between two stools,"
I told her, then I went to see her young friend,
And said: "if youre kind, you wont hold her,
For this love will be your sweethearts bitter end."
Girls can have their fun with money
When their money is their own to give,
But for girls like us, its not funny
If we even once forget the way we live.
So I sent him a lone one-way ticket
Which had broke his heart to use, naturally.
And when anna found out my trick,
Hed look like broken bones for me.
Family
Oh lord, look down upon our daughter,
Show her the way
That leads the good to thy reward,
Incline her heart to observe all thy commandments
That her works on earth may prosper.

Now she show off her little round white bottom
Worth twice a little texas motel,
And for nothing the poolroom can stare at anna
As though she had nothing to sell.
Thats why most girls dont get rich
For they go bad when they forget their place:
Youre not free to buy what you itch for
When youve got a good provider you must face.
Family
Who fights the good fight and all self subdues
Wins the palm, gains the crowns.

It wasnt easy putting that in order
Saying good-bye to young fernando
Then back to edward to apologize,
Then the endless nights I heard my sister
Sobbing bitterly and repeating:
Anna ii
Its right like this, anna, but so hard!
