    "Don't Mean No Bitterness, Don't Mean No Harm "

     You Were My Baby, This Is True
    And, Oh...Wasn't I Good To You

    Now, I Don't Want No Acting
    And, I Don't Want No Show
    But, The Time Has come
    When, You Must Go

    For All The Things You've Done
    And, The Pain You've Caused
    Without A Second Thought
    Baby, You Were Better Taught

    My Heart, It's Long Gone
    Figured It Was Time, I Moved On

    This Day Was Coming
    Surely, You Could See
    And Now, I Set Myself Free
    From The Sadness Of Your Misery

    Some Things Are Priceless, Baby
    Even More Than Wealth

    Of All The Things You''ve Lost
    In Life And Put On A Shelf
    The One I Hope, You Most To Find
    Is Where You Put Yourself...

    Now, I Don't Mean No Bitterness
    And, I Don't Mean No Harm

    But As You Walk, Walk Out The Door
    Cause, This Woman, You Can't Have
    No More....

    Bye Bye, Baby, With A Sigh...Bye...

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
