Barkis Is Willin'

So I'm walking down the road
No one else will take my load, so I will
Everyone is laughing, baby.
And everyone is patting their own backs

But every stone and every stick
And every bone and every half-hearted
But at least half-attempted half-truth
Will come back to stand with you when you're alone

There is one thing I forgot to tell you
There is one thing I forgot to say
But if I have the guts to say it
I'm afraid the place where we go to get lost, would get lost

And so I'm walking down the road, I'm crying baby
I walked all the way to Whitby, people honk at me
I shake my fist, sometimes give them the finger
I don't know why I always lie to you

Barkis always tells the truth
Barkis never lies
Barkis is always willing
Will you marry me awhile?
