The Red Dress

1 always saw, I always said

If I were grown and free,

I'd have a gown of reddest red

As fine as you could see.

To wear out walking,

Sleek and slow, Upon a Summer day. And there'd be one to see me

So And flip the world away.

And he would be a gallant one.

With stars behind his eyes,

And hair like metal in the sun.

And lips too warm for lies.

1 always saw us, gay and good.

High honored in the town.

Now I am grown to womanhood...... I have the silly gown.
