Mamaw said put out fleeces

Let the dew tell you what to do

That ain’t really craftin’

It’s what the Bible says

Judy read all of my tea leaves

Told me what would hook me

My thumb already knew

Bells and hats that bring trouble

But good news will come around

Making some protection

In a Dr. Pepper glass

Found in the woods

From that same protection long passed

Get em all around, she said

Made a beard turn gray

With every one I buried

In her good Christian way
