Fingernails Lyrics - Ely Joe

I keep my fingernails long 

So they Click when I play the piano 

I keep my fingernails long 

So they Click when I play the piano 

I'm gonna keep 'em that way 

Till the Swallows get back from Texarkana. 

I keep my fingernails long 

So they Click when I play the piano 

I keep my fingernails long 

So they Click when I play the piano 

I'm gonna keep 'em that way 

Till the Swallows get back from Louisiana. 

Well, I used to chew 'em off 

I was Nervous over you. 

I missed that clickin', tickin' sound, 

Honey, what I'm gonna do, 

Is keep my fingernails long 

So they Click when I play the piano 

I keep my fingernails long 

So they Click when I play the piano 

I'm gonna keep 'em that way 

Till the Swallows get back from Alabama.
