oh darling Daisy put your hand in mine
only you can save me
take me back in time
take me back in time
take me back in time
oh darling Daisy let’s see what we can find
the world can get so lonely
you are on my mind
you are on my mind
you are on my mind
been working on the railroad
been working a long time
someday I’m gonna find me a place where the sun does shine
where the sun does shine
where the sun does shine
oh darling Daisy I’ve made some mistakes in my life
some say that I’m a bad man
that I deserve to die
I deserve to die
I deserve to die
oh darling Daisy put your hand in mine
only you can save me
take me back in time
take me back in time
take me back in time
take me back in time
take me back in time
take me back in time
take me back in time
take me back in time
take me back in time

Johnny and Susie got married today because everybody’s doing it, everybody’s doing it
and my dog, he ran away, he went straight into the woods like a chicken with his head caught off
and my ma and pa they say that I better go find myself a real job
because things are getting mighty gray and this town is about to blow up in dust
well I’ll meet you in the backyard
I’ll take off all your clothes
I’ll make things really hard
I’ll make sure you know
that when you say you need me, boy you better need me like fire
because it’s hard playing easy when your heart is red bone tired
Johnny and Susie got married today because everybody’s doing it, everybody’s doing it
and I run ten miles a day, got the feet to prove it, the feet to prove it
and when I go to church to pray I get distracted by all the paintings on the wall
and I hear my preacher man say “Good men are good or they’re nothing at all”
well I’ll meet you in the backyard
I’ll take off all your clothes
I’ll make things really hard
I’ll make sure you know
that when you say you need me, boy you better need me like fire
because it’s hard playing easy when your heart is red bone tired
Johnny and Susie got married today because everybody’s doing, everybody’s doing it
the moon it’s far away, but it pulls me too it, pulls me to it
I went to a fortune teller today, she said “Come here child let me see your lines”
looked me scared in the face and said “looks like your fate is running against the time”
well I’ll meet you in the backyard
I’ll take off all your clothes
I’ll make things really hard
I’ll make sure you know
that when you say you need me, boy you better need me like fire
because it’s hard playing easy when your heart is red bone tired
yeah when you say you need me, boy you better need me like fire
because it’s hard playing easy when your heart is red bone tired
Johnny and Susie got married today because everybody’s doing it, everybody’s doing it
and my dog, he ran away, he went straight into the woods like a chicken with his head caught off

down in New Orleans the weather is warm
music jingles out of every corner
got the swamp blues oh the old time swamp blues
he said “Alright mama I’ll play it if you want me to”
here on the hillside we stay up till mornin’
sit on the front porch and play my guitar
I’ll sing you sad songs, oh I’ll sing you sad songs
he said “Alright mama, if that’s how you get your fun”
traveling woman day by day
honky tonkin’ each night for pay
we turn it up, oh you know we turn it up
he said “Alright mama, just tell me when you’ve had enough”
women here have that classic look
ribbons in their hair and lipstick in their purse
makes the men all cry, oh it makes the men all cry
he said “Alright mama just know that I’m your guy”

I got a pocket full of quarters and I’m looking for some more
I got a sweet tooth, oh I got a sweet tooth
he said “Alright mama I’ll see what your daddy can do”

I pulled over baby, pulled over for you
I pulled over baby, you were looking real good
you had dark shades on and unkempt hair
your eyes they burned, had that magical stare
and I could tell by the way that you moved
that you were my kind of man
so come a little bit closer baby
let me understand you
let me understand
I pulled over baby, pulled over for you
I pulled over baby, pulled over for you
you are the sunshine on my brow
and when it’s raining you push away those dark clouds
and I could tell by the way that you moved
that you were my kind of man
so come a little bit closer baby
let me understand you
let me understand
from the moment that we met
there was no sound
and I fell into the ground
this is how my love begins
and my love has no end
this is how my love begins
and my love has no end
oh my love, my love, my love
oh my love, my love, my love
oh my love, my love, my love

I was lying in a field
straight on my back
a cow came up to me and I said
Why hello there jack
do you like do you like the place your at
do your brown eyes your brown eyes ever turn black
well I was born by the railroad always watching train wheels turn
when that whistle starts blowing my heart starts to burn
let me roll clear across the mountain side
yellow moon yellow moon in the night
well I see you standing under that old apple tree
won’t you be a honey and pick a red one for me
and we can dance we can dance side by side
we can dance we can dance alright
you can laugh when I’m dancing out of time
and I can cry when you’re working in the mines
I said ooo my baby blue baby blue
I said ooo and the yellow moon
I said ooo my baby blue baby blue
I said ooo and the yellow moon
oh let me roll clear across the mountain side
yellow moon yellow moon in the night
oh let me roll clear across the mountain side
yellow moon yellow moon it never lies
I said ooo my baby blue baby blue
I said ooo and the yellow moon
I said ooo my baby blue baby blue
I said ooo and the yellow moon

Little Heart
03:39

|
I may not be perfectly sweet
belle of the ball, trophy wife treat
but I got a little heart and it beats like a drum for you
take me or leave me, but know that I’m true
I’ve never been outspoken, I’d rather hide under the sun
blend into the wind
but I got a little heart and it beats like a drum for you
take me or leave me, but know that I’m true
everyone talks, everyone lies
every woman makes love with her eyes
but I got a little heart and it beats like a drum for you
take me or leave me, but know that I’m true
take me or leave me, but know that I’m true
take me or leave me, but know that I’m true
no longer can I wait for you to decide
you either love me or you don’t care at all
you can’t walk the line
because I got a little heart and it beats like a drum for you
got a little heart and it beats like a drum you for
got a little heart and it beats like a drum you for
take me or leave me, but know that I’m true
take me or leave me, but know that I’m true
