A wealthy lady whose father owns a store, falls in love with her father's servant who tends his Horses. All music and vocals played and sung by Alexis Patrick. I kept it simple.

WELCOME TO THE SOUNDCLICK PAGE OF ALEXIS PATRICK ALSO LEXI, and LEKZEE PATRICK , FROM CORTLAND, OHIO...... THE SAME ARTIST AND PERSON. SHE IS A FEMALE SINGER, COMPOSER, SONGWRITER, AND MUSICIAN, BORN ON THE NORTH SIDE OF YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO, IN MAHONING COUNTY, IN THE U.S.A.. SHE STILL REFERS TO IT AS HER TOWN . SHE IS A MEMBER OF BOOT HILL BAIT MUSIC IN VIENNA, OHIO. She studied music at Theodore P. Patrick's School Of Music, even BEFORE she attended Lynn-Kirk Elementary School, Frank Ohl Jr. High School and Austintown Fitch High School. She and her brother Ted, and their father, had a band called SUPERNATURAL for years. She is of KYIV UKRAINIAN and Carpathian Romanian descent, with a significant amount of Slovak and Vienna German mixed in, and she gets along with most all people, as America is a melting cauldron of many nationalities. She is a believer in World peace and feels that war is unnecessary. She arranges her music and the instrumental and vocal arrangements, as she composes each composition. She produces and does sound work on her own recordings, EXCEPT For Collaborations. We all do that. Her Dad's father was a Violin and Cello maker from the UKRAINE and he went to come to the U.S.A. Lekzee and Ted 's Mother was a Classical Violin teacher. Their father was a Saxophone player in Big Bebop Band. Each parent had a band. That is how they met. And so, she has a musical family background, raised on Classical and Big Band Jazz. HER VOCALS AND HARMONIES ARE ALL NATURAL, AND HER MUSIC IS ALL DONE THE OLD FASHIONED WAY FOR THE MOST OF IT. SHE PLAYS PIANO, GUITAR, VIOLIN, DRUMS, and BASS GUITAR. SHE ALSO SINGS "IN CHARACTER VOCALS "... MOOD OF SONG. HER MUSIC IS BEAUTIFUL, VERY UNIQUE, AND SOMETIMES STRANGE. I FIND HER VOICE EUPHORIC, EERIE, AND COMPELLING, YET, WHEN WE SING ALONG WITH HER, THOSE EERIE LYRICS CERTAINLY ARE DIFFERENT. SHE IS WILLING TO LEASE OUT SONGS TO BIG NAME ARTISTS TO RECORD. SHE IS AFFILIATED WITH ASCAP. SHE ALSO SEEKS A CONTRACT WITH A MAJOR RECORDING COMPANY. ALL OF HER SONGS ARE COPYRIGHTED, AND THEY ARE PUBLISHED WITH AFFILIATES APACHE WELLS BANK MUSIC, INC..

Lyrics
All Lyrics, Music,and Arrangement Written by Alexis Patrick In January 2024 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.

It's always special to see a Number 1 markup for you Alexis, as you have been so kind in comments to so many people over so many years. Great Lyrics and idea set to pleasant music. Tony (and Sue).

Alexis, you certainly have a gift for story songs and this one is no exception. It's a captivating timeless story that has a very Hans Christian Anderson kind of feel to it. It's like a long lost story from days of chivalry. Very nicely arranged and performed. Excellent.

Such a nice story and told so delicately! The song reminds me of old folksongs, except that this lady turns down the offer from the fine nobleman and prfers the stable boy. Very sweet story and well performed!
