Couple in the next room    Bound to win a prize  they've been
                                             
goin' at it  all night long  Well I'm  tryin to get some sleep but these
                                          
motel walls are cheep  Lincoln Duncan is my name and here's my
                  
song    here's my  song


                           
My father was a fisherman  my mama was a fisherman's friend  And
                                
I was born in the boredom and the chowder              So
                                            
when I reached my prime  I left my home in the maritimes
                                
headed down the turnpike for New England

solo:
               

                      
Holes in my confidence  holes in the knees of my jeans  I's
                                              
left without a penny in my pocket    Oo  hoo hoo  wee  I's a - bout
                                                
destituted as a kid could be And I wish I wore a ring so I could
                     
hock it   I'd like to hock it


                                 
A young girl in a parking lot was preachin to a crowd  singin.
                                
sacred songs and reading from the bible   Well I
                                                  
told her I was lost   and she told me all about the Pentecost  And I
                                                 
seen that girl as the road to my surviv - - - - - - al


solo :
                               


Just latter on the very same night when I
                                                     
crept to her tent with a flashlight and my long years of innocence
                               
ended    Well she took me to the woods sayin'
                                                          
"Here comes somethin' and it feels so good!" And just like a dog I was
                       
befriended   I was befriended


                   
Oh  oh  what a night Oh what a garden of delight
                         
Even now that sweet memory lingers
                                        
playin' my guitar   lying underneath the stars  Just
                                        
thankin' the lord for my fingers    for my fingers
