MY HUSBAND HAS GONE

My husband has gone
to where fate takes me
he's gone and left me a widow
and gone with everything of mine

I have heard other laugh
laughing with their husbands
but mine has gone
and has left me a pauper

He told me he was going to home
in the mine of honey
i have heard other people say
that prostitutes expose their private parts

I have seen others go to the swamp
to look for perfumes
why should i go there
when my husband has gone?

My husband has gone
and has taken the reliever of loneliness
that stick of manhood
which drives the coldness

I have heard others laugh
i have seen them shimmering
they spend the nights wriggling
and shaking their bottoms
but i have become a widow
i spend the nights trembling
embracing the mats,
