[Barbara]<br />

Julie, Julie! Do you like him?<br />

<br />

[Shirley]<br />

I don't know.<br />

<br />

[Barbara]<br />

Did you like it when he talked to you today,<br />

When he put you on the carousel that way, mm mm mm<br />

Did you like that?<br />

<br />

[Shirley]<br />

I'd rather not say.<br />

<br />

[Barbara]<br />

You're a queer one, Julie Jordan,<br />

You were quieter and deeper than a well<br />

An' ye never tell me nuthin'!<br />

<br />

[Shirley]<br />

There's nuthin' that I keer to choose to tell.<br />

<br />

[Barbara]<br />

You been acting most peculiar,<br />

Every morning you're awake ahead of me,<br />

Always settin' by the winder.<br />

<br />

[Shirley]<br />

I like to watch the river meet the sea.<br />

<br />

[Barbara]<br />

When we work in the mill, weavin' at the loom<br />

You gaze absent-minded at the roof<br />

And half the time your shuttle gets twisted in the threads,<br />

'Till you can't tell the warp from the woof.<br />

<br />

[Shirley]<br />

'Taint so.<br />

<br />

[Barbara]<br />

You're a queer one, Julie Jordan,<br />

You won't ever tell a body what you think.<br />

You're as tight-lipped as an oyster,<br />

And as silent as an old Sahara spink
