Red Nex

If it hadn't been for cotton-eye joe
I'd been married long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from cotton-eye joe?

(repeat)

He came to town like a midwinter storm
He rode through the fields so handsome and strong
His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
But all he had come for was having some fun

(repeat intro)

He brought disaster wherever he went
The hearts of the girls was to hell broken sent
They all ran away so nobody would know
And left only men cause of cotton-eye joe

(repeat intro

You better hold on tight when
we go hittin the hay
You better hold on tight and pray
You better hold on tight cause
we go hittin the hay
or darling better run cause i
won't hold back my horses

Round and round up and down
slam your partner down til he
hit the ground
and up you go now go go go
spin him round and round til he
can't be found
There's time to slay there's
games to play
No more to say so everybody hit
the hay

We got hittin the hay and we got hittin the hay
we will rumble and stumble
all night and day
We go hittin the hay yeah we go hittin the hay
Til our backsides bleedin we go hittin the hay

Here we go again
come and grab your friend
shake him up shake him down
gotta get a good blend
first you told him tight then
you kick him right
Sing hey-di-ley go hit the hay

My baby's on his way and he's got nowhere to stay
And I wonder what he's thinking on his own

He's promised me his heart and he says he really loves me
and I'll marry him as soon he's coming home

[Chorus:]
I'm riding in the desert and I'm heading into nowhere
The sun is showing me the way
I'm riding alone
I'm looking for adventure cause I left my girl in texas
I'm a stranger and I'm riding alone

I'm working as a waitress the saloon is never empty
I got so many suitors all around

Although some are very handsome they will never get my hand
bacause I'm waiting for my cowboy to come home

Wish you were here me oh my countryman
Wish you were here

Wish you were here don't you know the stove is getting colder
and I miss you like hell and I'm feeling blue

I've got feelings for you babe
Do you still feel the same
From the first time I laid my eyes on you
I felt joy of living
I saw heaven in your eyes, in your eyes

I miss your laugh, I miss your smile
I miss everything about you
Every seconds like a minute
Every minute's like a day
When you're far away

Wish you were here
The stove is getting colder baby
Wish you were here
A battlefield of love and fear

Mary Lou, Mary Lou
I can't go on living without you
Mary Lou, Mary Lou
I can't go on singing without you

Mary Lou, Mary Lou...

And you sleep all day and you drink all night
How can you ever have the time to be my loverman
You play your games, play your games everyday
You never do the things that you say you'll do
You always make excuses like Mr. Jones
You hide away, hide away everyday

Mary Lou, Mary Lou...

And you drink whiskey like it's orange juice
And always swear at the cowboy near Johnson's farm
You fool around, fool around everyday
If you wanna be my man you gotta quit your booze
Shave your butt take a bath and stay home with me
Close to me, close to me everyday

I climb on the stage
and the band begins to play them old countrysongs
Everybody scream and shout while I show my
balls
Mary Lou, Mary Lou...

I work so hard from 9 to 5
Singing out of tune
The rumours say you're desprate
You are banging with the boys

Mary Lou, Mary Lou...

Mary Lou, Mary Lou
I'ld love to hold you in my arms again

I was working at the railroad
on the train to arkansas
last summer i met a gal
she came from nowhere in idaho

CHORUS:
I can't get no no no
i just can't get her outta my mind
can't forget no no no
those bedroom eyes and that
little gracious smile

Howdy folks
this song's about a man and
a woman, what else
You know the minute
everything's going fine
the next it's gone with the wind
but what the hell
I still got my horse

Still i wonder about her name
guess she never told and i
never asked
like a southern hurricane
she took me by surprise and
vanished in the vain

You can call me honey, you can steal my money
You can try again and you can pray to Heaven
But I tell you, honey, like the sun is sunny
Baby, I won't put my shooter down
You can call me honey, you can steal my money
You can try again and you can pray to Heaven
But I tell you, honey, like the sun is sunny
Baby, I won't put my shooter down
Now, the man I love is a wanted man
With a price put on his head
Every deputy wants a tag on his toe
He's better off with me
So together, we can start a new
You can plow the field and I will make your stew
Come on, darling, settle down with me
Put your shooter down
You can call me honey, you can steal my money
You can try again and you can pray to Heaven
But I tell you, honey, like the sun is sunny
Baby, I won't put my shooter down
You can call me honey, you can steal my money
You can try again and you can pray to Heaven
But I tell you, honey, like the sun is sunny
Baby, I won't put my shooter down
Sometimes I think that the gun in your hand
Means more to you than me
But I know better, you are getting old
You will need a family
And then, on Sundays, we can go to church
Time for you to end your search
Here's your life, take a look at me
'Cause I will be your wife
You can call me honey, you can steal my money
You can try again and you can pray to Heaven
But I tell you, honey, like the sun is sunny
Baby, I won't put my shooter down
You can call me honey, you can steal my money
You can try again and you can pray to Heaven
But I tell you, honey, like the sun is sunny
Baby, I won't put my shooter down
Come to me, baby
No, don't tell me "maybe"
When we are married
Your shooter are gonna get burried
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
You can call me honey, you can steal my money
You can try again and you can pray to Heaven
But I tell you, honey, like the sun is sunny
Baby, I won't put my shooter down
But I tell you, honey, like the sun is sunny
Baby, I won't put my shooter down
