Perhaps something more musical?  What is the common theme between these?

Don’t ask if I made love to her

or which one of us started to cry

Don’t ask why she wouldn’t take the money that I left,

if I answered at all, I’d lie.

John Brown’s green, the devil is red
Mama’s little baby loves shortnin’ bread
The devil’s dream is that he can win

I’m off the clock
The pressure’s off
Now my girl’s what it’s all about

I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue

But I can’t stand to see her cryin’
She’s still cryin’, she ain’t tryin’
She’s going to get left behind
