     She looked at me with that familiar desire

     Her eyes lit up like they were on fire

     She said, "My name's Flo, and you're on the right track,

     But look here, daddy, I wear furs on my back,

     So if you want to have fun in this man's land,

     Let Lincoln and Jackson start shaking hands."
