South Carolina Girl

South Carolina Girl
By Richard Fewell

I sang my first notes
On the scales of this world
From the belly and the breasts
Of a South Carolina girl

I danced my first love-beats
With the hearts of this world
In the charms and the arms
Of a South Carolina girl

I mapped my first safaris
Through the wilds of this world
With the wisdom and the lamps
Of a South Carolina girl

So when I leave from the loins
Of this woeful happy world
Let my wings be the bosom
Of a South Carolina girl

Let my chariot be the belly
Of a South Carolina girl

A South Carolina South
Carolina South
Carolina
Girl!
