"I'm all alone in this world, she said ...."






I’m all alone in this world, she said,
Ain’t got nobody to share my bed,
Ain’t got nobody to hold my hand—
The truth of the matter's
 I ain’t got no man.

Big Boy opened his mouth and said,
Trouble with y
ou is
You ain't got no head!
If you had a head and used your mind
You could have me with you
All the time.

She answered, Babe, what must I do?

He said, Share your bed—
And your money, too.

'The person who wants to have right without wrong ...."



"The person who wants to have right without wrong,

Order without disorder,

Does not understand the principles of heaven and earth.

He does not know how things hang together.

Can a person cling only to heaven and know nothing of earth?

They are correlative: to know one is to know the other.

To refuse one is to refuse both."
