Polliwogs Lament by Rose Polenzani Lyrics

Polliwog in sunset
Razorback in Maine
Bring the bonnie baby
To my lap again
Ain't no baby cryin'
Ain't no man alive
Needs a barren woman
To be his bonnie bride

Lonely, I'm so lonely!

Coyote in the moonlight
Watching o'er his prey
Bring that bonnie baby
To my lips today
Ain't no soul a-growin'
Ain't no breathless frog
Leapin' in my body
Heaven's hollow log

Lonely, I'm so lonely!
Shepherd at the sunrise
Leaning on his cane
Bring that bonnie baby
To my lap again
Ain't no sheep for flockin'
Ain't no reason why
I've neither son nor daughter
To kiss me when I die

Lonely, I'm so lonely!
