“And my baby says she's goin' to quit me,
I'll tell you for this reason why,
Lead in my pencil gone bye-bye!
Laid down last night, couldn't help but cry,
Wanted to write so bad, I was about to die!
Lead in my pencil, babe it's done gone bad,
And it's the worst old feelin' baby, that I've ever
had!”
- Johnny Temple
