Carl Sandburg - MagCarl Sandburg - Mag
Work rating: Medium


I wish to God I never saw you, Mag. I wish you never quit your job and came along with me. I wish we never bought a license and a white dress For you to get married in the day we ran off to a minister And told him we would love each other and take care of     each other Always and always long as the sun and the rain lasts anywhere. Yes, I`m wishing now you lived somewhere away from here And I was a bum on the bumpers a thousand miles away     dead broke.          I wish the kids had never come          And rent and coal and clothes to pay for          And a grocery man calling for cash,          Every day cash for beans and prunes.          I wish to God I never saw you, Mag.          I wish to God the kids had never come.
