Pocketful of empty:By Uncle John

[0] When I first met you, you were so fine.

Treated me good all of the time.

[5th] I don't know what - changed your [0] mind.

Cause [7th ] all you do now is [5th] treat me - un- [I] kind.

I got a pocket full of empty and heart full of pain.

I'm leaving here, sorry I came.

I don't know why you - are so unkind.

I can stand a lot of things but not a woman who's unkind.

I don't mind that you're big and fat.

I can love a woman like that.

But something happened and now you're just mean.

I ask you for water and you give me gasoline.

(Repeat verse 2)

I don't care that you're homely.'

You coulda been my one and only.

All you had to do was treat me kind.

You're fat and ugly and worst of all you're unkind.

You're fat and ugly and worst of all you're unkind.

Good idea Clock and good lyrics, Ron.  There is also a very good old song about Amelia Earhart.

Here ya go, Clock, bug:

Amelia's Blues

Thousand miles of ocean, nothin' I can drink
Thousand miles of ocean, nothin' I can drink
Don't matter where I set down - just know I'm gonna sink

Find me a co-pilot knows how to navigate
Yes, find me a co-pilot, knows how to navigate
Cuz this one needs a map befo' he'll triangulate

Spirit of St. Louis, are you watchin' over me?
Ohhhh, Spirit of St. Louis, say you watchin' over me
Cuz on this glory road ain't where I'm s'posed to be

Vanish inta thin air, think I'll become a ghost
Said, vanish inta thin air, just turn into a ghost
That white line up ahead sure does look like Heaven's coast

Next time instead of flyin', gonna swim the deep blue sea
Next time I get to tryin', gonna swim the deep blue sea
And that'll be the last time anybody hears from me.

Me2 we will wait your next lyric writings to mess with.
