Mountain Man's Dream by Ben Laney

She sleeps with her mouth wide open
In her long john underwear
All night tossing an turning
Snoring like a grizzly bear
Sometimes I sit and watch her
When the moon is shining right
And I'm so thankful I've got her
To brighten up my days and nights

She's a sweet, sweet, sweet
Mountain Man's dream
She's a sweet, sweet, sweet
Mountain Man's dream
Straight and true as a redwood tree
Like the morning sun her love burns through me
She's a sweet, sweet, sweet
Mountain Man's dream

She's got a way of looking
That could set fire to a stone
She's not too great at cooking,
But who lives by bread alone?
As I rise up each morning
I can't help but be amazed
That this sweet mountain woman
Still comes in to watch me shave

She's a sweet, sweet, sweet
Mountain Man's dream
She's a sweet, sweet, sweet
Mountain Man's dream
Straight and true as a redwood tree
Like the morning sun her love burns through me
She's a sweet, sweet, sweet
Mountain Man's dream

What a poem writer U. R.
Ben,

You have "been," in the corn syrup again! Me thinks, she only watches you shave, because, she knows, you Don't know How. The day will come, high upon your mountain top, when this tender, lady of the woods, says Okay, STOP, now watch me closely, I'll be "Gentle Ben" I'm gon-a show you how to shave and do it right.

With that, your she-bear, picks up an AX, oh, my, I can't go on.

Ben, you have a woman, woman, woman on your hands, can't say I envy you, but I shore dew like this here, poem.
