From the recording Simple Things, Guts and Dreams
Lyrics
THE BAYMAN SONG - Asetha Power
I want a man who stands steady on his feet
A looker who can hook her for a pan-fried feed
Got a quad, a boat, a freezer full of meat
Hunts like a coyote loves like a beast
I’ll be his Sweetie
CHORUS
I want a Wiseman, Carpenter, Lumberjack Dream
For this folk-singin', Pixie Witch, Wild East Queen
Good eyes, wire-thighs, fisherman genes
A bright-eyed, wide-smilin' Partridgeberry Tart
I’ll be his canned peach with Fussel's cream
He’ll be my Bayman
He’ll be my Bayman, Amen
I’ll be his Sweetie
Don't want no Townie no
I want a Bayman
I want a Bayman, Amen
I’ll be his Sweetie
I want a man who knows what he has in me
Keeps life simple takes it slow and sweet
Grownin' jiggs dinner, fishin' rivers, cuttin' trees
Bakin' casseroles, hangin' clothes, steepin' tea
BRIDGE
What’s a girl to do
Like 'em strong, free and true
My Bayman, Amen
Only one man will do
And he’ll know it when I’m through
My Bayman, Amen
