GOOD AS GOLD

WAS AS GOOD AS GOLD
SO THE TRUTH BE TOLD
BUT THE TRUTH IS NE'ER THE SAME,
FOR DEPENDS ON WHERE, THE PEOPLE SAY
TO WHOM YOU CHOOSE TO BLAME.
SO IT WAS PUT DOWN, SOME SAY WITH FROWN,
THAT THE BLAME LAY SQUARE ON HER.
SO THEY PUT THE BANNER ON HER CHEST, CONDEMNED
FOREVER MORE.
WAS AS GOOD AS GOLD NOW THE TRUTHS BEEN TOLD,
SHE WASN'T EVEN THERE.
SO WE LOOK AROUND ALL O'ER THE GROUND
NOT A SOUL IS MOVED NOR CARE.
