West Canterbury Subdivision Blue 
AI built her a castle of Eperma stonAe
But I should have reiEgned more with hAer
Too often I leDft my queen alonAe
And that was no wEay to leave hAer
I rAode out in quest of sEong and wiAne
And that was no wEay to treat hAer
I kept her hangiDn' like grapes on the viAne
And that was no wEay to keep hAer
Reds GDood guy rode by on his milk white steAed
And caDsually mentioned my misdAeeds
He promised her love far grEeater than miAne
Thus pulled out and pluEcked my grapes from the vAine
I bAuilt her a castle Ewith patiAos
But I seldom coEoked out upon Ait
I bought her a DTV with sterAeo
But I never lisEtened much to Ait
NAow I have a castle but the quEeen's not homAe
And that is no wEay to have hAer
I have the viDne but the grapes are goAne
And that's no wEay to run a vineyaArd
Reds GDood guy rode by on his milk white steAed
And caDsually mentioned my misdAeeds
He promised her love far grEeater than miAne
Thus pulled out and pluEcked my grapes from the vAine
