I'd love to get you. on a slow boat to china. all to my self alone. Get you and keep you. in my arms evermore. Leave all your lovers. weeping on the far away shores.
I look at you and suddenly. Something in your eyes I see. Soon begins bewitching me. It's that old devil moon. That you stole from the skies. It's that old devil moon in your eyes.
You wanna get rich you got to get out and dig. You want long hair go buy yourself a wig. Please believe me, gonna tell it to you slow. It's a real true sayin', "One monkey won't stop no show"..
It seems like a dream, yet I know it happened. A man, a maid, a kiss, and then goodbye. Romance was the theme. And we were the players. I never think of this without a sigh.
I have often walked down this street before. But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before. All at once am I several stories high. Knowing I'm on the street where you live.
Give me that old time religion. Tis the old time religion,. Tis the old time religion,. And it's good enough for me.. . It was good for our mothers.. It was good for our mothers..
We walked the loneliest mile. We smiled without any style. We kiss altogether wrong. No intention. . We lied about each others drinks. We lived without each other thinkin'.
One night of sin,. Is what I'm now paying for. The things I did and I saw. Would make the earth stand still. . Don't call my name. It makes me feel so ashamed.
I wish I were like the other girls. With a simple life in a simple world. Marriage, children, picket fence. Speak softly and act demure. But Im not like the other girls.
I'm splittin' town mama. Ramblin' on and leavin' home. I'm splittin' town mama. Ramblin' on and leavin' home. And I'll tell ya where I'm goin'. Somewhere out into the vast unknown.
Well hear now, everybody,. I'd like to tell you a story about my. favorite gal in the whole wide world.. That's right, I'm talkin' 'bout my guitar here..
