Americana chamber folk, clear, full, normally voiced female middle voice in comfortable breath groups; unhurried 6/8 at 62 BPM. Fingerpicked guitar, dobro, accordion, upright bass and brushed drums shape distinct hooks, developed instrumental transitions and a resolved outro; restrained, dryly humorous delivery, with a roomy acoustic mix and natural dynamics.

[Complete Original Text 1]
A Cottager and his wife had a Hen, which laid every day a golden egg. They supposed that it must contain a great lump of gold in its inside, and killed it in order that they might get it, when to their surprise they found that the Hen differed in no respect from their other hens. The foolish pair, thus hoping to become rich all at once, deprived themselves of the gain of which they were day by day assured.

[Complete Original Text 2]
A Traveller, about to set out on his journey, saw his Dog stand at the door stretching himself. He asked him sharply: "What do you stand gaping there for? Everything is ready but you; so come with me instantly." The Dog, wagging his tail, replied: "O, master! I am quite ready; it is you for whom I am waiting."
The loiterer often imputes delay to his more active friend.
