I CANNOT BE BOUGHT
On this day a man came in our store,
And he bought our finest tapestry
He was so extravagant,
He was dressed in velvet finery.
He told me that his home
Is just like a beautiful castle
With heavy satin drapery
Adorned with golden tassels
The sweet scent he was wearing
Just had to be Lemon Verbena, Lemon Verbena
Then he asked me what my name is,
I replied, I'm Zellaynah, I;m Zellaynah.
He told me that he wishes after all these years
To finally take himself a wife.
Then, he looked me in the eyes and offered me
A very luxurious life.
Oh, Papa, I'm in love with your Stable Hand ,Your Stable Hand
He served you all this time
Oh, Papa you know, He's a good man
My troubled soul is now at ease
Now that my long time secret is told
I cannot be bought
And, I cannot be sold.
