Correct.

Pretty tune about a guy who gets angry at a girl because she leads him on then he gets none, so he gets back at her by torching her house. 

Harsh.

I still find mild amusement at the other title for the song- "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown.)" Well, yes, she was gone in the morning. That "bird" (British slang) had flown!

I thought it was pretty good, if a bit grisly.

I don't know, but I'm thankful.  I know the song, but could not recognize it by that line. And I remember it as a David Bowie song.

Less my style, but possibly that's why I remember the lyrics. This was by "that famous lyricist", Bob Dylan.  IIRC, the song's title is "LAY LADY LAY."

[WordWolf]

Ok, i looked it up, and I was correct.

Actually, "Cherokee People" is not the title.  Neither word is correct.
