Tread lowly my dear, your tongue;nTread lowly and softly,nAnd mind my love.nnnOh, dear you are to me now—nnnOr else, or else.nI double barrel dare younI’ve got two rifles crossednOutside this heart—nI’ve got two riles crossednOutside this heart—nAnd when a woman’s known a mannWho knows how not to mind her lovenShe won’t have it so hard this timenPulling the triggernWhen she’s done.nSo if you want to stay with me,nYou’d better listen to me when I say:nnTread lowly my dear, your tongue;nTread lowly and softly,nAnd mind my love
