King Lear by Kristi; Folsom Prison Blues by Kristi

Howl, howl, howl, howl! O you are a bad puppy!

As for your tongue, and eyes, I shoot them so,

That Heav’ns vault should crack. O good she is gone forever!

Folsom Prison Blues by Kristi

When I was just a baby,
my mama told me, “Kris,
don’t ever kill a puppy
your daughter’s gonna miss.”

But I shot a dog named Cricket
just to watch her die.
When that didn’t cure my bloodlust,
I gave the goat a try.
