[al:Ladies Of The Canyon]
[00:08.93]Trinna wears her wampum beads
[00:13.72]She fills her drawing book with lines
[00:17.80]Sewing lace on widows weeds
[00:22.08]And filagree on leaf and vine
[00:26.96]Vine and leave are filagree
[00:31.00]And her coats a second hand one
[00:35.79]Trimmed in antique luxury
[00:39.23]She is a lady of the canyon
[00:44.20]
[00:54.12]Annie sits you down to eat
[00:58.21]She always makes you welcome in
[01:03.19]Cats and babies round her feet
[01:06.89]And all are fat and none are thin
[01:11.67]None are thin and all are fat
[01:15.10]She may bake some brownies today
[01:20.09]Saying, you are welcome back
[01:23.57]She is another canyon lady
[01:28.06]
[01:38.37]Estrella circus girl
[01:42.60]Comes wrapped in songs and gypsy shalws
[01:46.83]Songs like tiny hammers hurled
[01:50.76]At bevelled mirrors in empty halls
[01:57.29]Empty halles and bevelled mirrors
[02:00.62]Sailing seas and climbing banyans
[02:04.85]Come out for a visit here
[02:08.30]To be a lady of the canyon
[02:20.91]
[02:23.94]Trinna takes her pains and her threads
[02:28.17]And she weaves a pattern all her own
[02:32.12]Annie bakes her cakes and her breads
[02:35.55]And she gathers flowers for her home
[02:43.87]For her home she gathers flowers
[02:45.71]And Estrella, dear companion
[02:49.99]Colors up the sunshine hours
[02:53.43]Pouring music down the canyon
[03:08.41]Coloring the sunshine hours
[03:12.44]They are the ladies of the canyon
