Joli Girl Lyrics - Marty Robbins - All-time Greatest Hits - Marty Robbins

Aw, we walked the streets of Greenwich Village 

Smilin' at the passing strangers on their way 

Holdin' hands like school kids in the summer August sun 

Then I held it close to me, and I whispered 

And wishin' the end would never come 

Then a flower lady sold me one red rose to give you 

Joli girl, when will you be mine 

For your chestnut hair, just to make it shine 

Then we stepped up to the first stand on the corner 

And a taxi driver cussed us, 'cause a blind man got his tip 

And we ducked out of the rain into a dusty little shop 

And tapped "thank you" with his cane 

For some coconut champagne 

That traded books and fluffy hats, rings and beads 

Then I held it close to me, and I whispered 

Joli girl, you're all I need 

Joli girl, I might be anywhere 

Aw, Joli girl, please don't ask me how long I'll be stayin' 

You and your dandy ship of dreams that we can share 

The night is coming on and soon we'll have to go 

Tomorrow is just another day, I'm maybe far away 

So let's spread our blanket in the park and hold each other close 

But remember, Joli girl, oh remember 

Joli girl, I love you so
