She's a mystery to me
Darkness falls and she Will take me by the hand Take me to some twilight land Where all but love is gray Where I can't find my way Without her as my guide Night falls, I'm cast beneath her spell Daylight comes, our heaven turns to hell Am I left to burn, and burn eternally? She's a mystery to me She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl In the night of love Words tangled in her hair Words soon to disappear A love so sharp it cut Like a switchblade to my heart Words tearing me apart She tears again my bleeding heart I wanna run, she's pulling me apart Fallen angel cries And I just melt away She's a mystery to me She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl Haunted by her side It's a darkness in her eyes That so enslaves me But if my love is blind Then I don't want to see She's a mystery to me Night falls, I'm cast beneath her spell Daylight comes, our heaven turns to hell Am I left to burn, and burn eternally? She's a mystery to me She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's... a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's... a mystery girl

Staggolee
It was early, early one morning
When i heard my bulldog bark,
T’was staggolee and billy delyon
Squabbling in the dark.
Staggolee told billy delyon
“what do you think of that?
You win all my money, lord!
You spit in my stetson hat"
Staggolee were walking
In the red hot brawling sun,
Says: “bring me my six-shooter,
Lord i wants my fourty-one"
Staggolee were walking
Through the mud and through the sand
Says: “i feel mistreated this morning,
I could kill most any man"
Billy delyons told staggolee:
“please don’t take my life,
I got three helpless children,
One poor, beautiful wife"
“i don’t care nothing ‘bout your children
And nothing about your wife
You done mistreated me, billy,
And i’m bound to take your life".
He shot him three times in the shoulder, lord,
He shot him three times in the side.
Well, the last time he shot him
Caused billy lyons to die.
Staggolee told mrs. billy:
“you don’t believe your man is dead?
Come on into the barroom,
See the hole i shot in his head!"
The high-sheriff told the deputies:
“get your pistols and come with me!
We got to go’n arrest the bad man
Known as staggolee"
The deputies took their pistols
They laid them on the shelf,
“if you want that bad man staggolee
You have to arrest him yourself!"
The high-sheriff asked the bartender
“who can that bad man be?"
“speak softly!?, said the bartender,
“that bad man’s staggolee"
He touched old stag on the shoulder,
“say, stag, why do you run?"
“i don’t run, white folk,
When i got my fourty-one"
The hangman put the mask on,
Tied his hands behind his back,
Sprung the trap on staggolee,
But his neck refused to crack.
The hangman, he got frightened,
Said: “chief, you see how it be,
I can’t hang this man, lord,
You better set him free"
Three-hundred dollar funeral,
Thousand dollar hearse,
Satisfaction! “undertaker,
Put stag on down in the earth!"
Staggolee told the devil:
“say, come on and have some fun!
You stick me with your pitchfork,
And i’ll shoot you with my fourty-one"
Staggolee took the pitchfork
And he laid it on a shelf,
He says: “stand back, tom devil, lord,
I’m gonna rule hell by myself."

iCalendar Recurrence Reference and Examples
4.8.5.4 Recurrence Rule
Property Name: RRULE
Purpose: This property defines a rule or repeating pattern for
recurring events, to-dos, or time zone definitions.
Value Type: RECUR
Property Parameters: Non-standard property parameters can be
specified on this property.
Conformance: This property can be specified one or more times in
recurring "VEVENT", "VTODO" and "VJOURNAL" calendar components. It
can also be specified once in each STANDARD or DAYLIGHT sub-component
of the "VTIMEZONE" calendar component.
Description: The recurrence rule, if specified, is used in computing
the recurrence set. The recurrence set is the complete set of
recurrence instances for a calendar component. The recurrence set is
generated by considering the initial "DTSTART" property along with
the "RRULE", "RDATE", "EXDATE" and "EXRULE" properties contained
within the iCalendar object. The "DTSTART" property defines the first
instance in the recurrence set. Multiple instances of the "RRULE" and
"EXRULE" properties can also be specified to define more
sophisticated recurrence sets. The final recurrence set is generated
by gathering all of the start date/times generated by any of the
specified "RRULE" and "RDATE" properties, and excluding any start
date/times which fall within the union of start date/times generated
by any specified "EXRULE" and "EXDATE" properties. This implies that
start date/times within exclusion related properties (i.e., "EXDATE"
and "EXRULE") take precedence over those specified by inclusion
properties (i.e., "RDATE" and "RRULE"). Where duplicate instances are
generated by the "RRULE" and "RDATE" properties, only one recurrence
is considered. Duplicate instances are ignored.
Dawson & Stenerson Standards Track [Page 117]
RFC 2445 iCalendar November 1998
The "DTSTART" and "DTEND" property pair or "DTSTART" and "DURATION"
property pair, specified within the iCalendar object defines the
first instance of the recurrence. When used with a recurrence rule,
the "DTSTART" and "DTEND" properties MUST be specified in local time
and the appropriate set of "VTIMEZONE" calendar components MUST be
included. For detail on the usage of the "VTIMEZONE" calendar
component, see the "VTIMEZONE" calendar component definition.
Any duration associated with the iCalendar object applies to all
members of the generated recurrence set. Any modified duration for
specific recurrences MUST be explicitly specified using the "RDATE"
property.
Format Definition: This property is defined by the following
notation:
rrule = "RRULE" rrulparam ":" recur CRLF
rrulparam = *(";" xparam)
Example: All examples assume the Eastern United States time zone.
