PRUDISH LIFE
a. How I used to lead a prudish life,
Feeling shock about anything bad
If you come to me for love
I’ll shake my head at you.
b. For many year I continued this way,
Feeling shock about anything bad
And to many girls who wooed
I shook my head.
c. My life at then was marked for monastery;
I used to think I was to be a monk
Until the day I met this lass
Who swept my feet.
d. She came to me as pretty goodly gem
And said she like to have me as a friend
I tried to shake my head
My head refused to shake.
e. I wondered why I couldn’t shake my head
My mentor said it was the will of God
I was given conviction deep inside my heart
She’s a match that was sent from above.
f. I could not,
I found it too hard
I couldn’t shake head
She won me over.
g. There was a cord all over me
Dragging me to fall in love,
Fall in love with her.
