lyrics

She was sittin in a corner, lookin fine and alone
Sittin in a corner, makin my heart moan
Well I walked over to her from shadows black as ink
Said “Can I have this next dance?”
She said “Honey, finish your drink.”

She said “Baby, baby, Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
You only seen the tip of my g-string
Before I’ll dance with you honey, slip off that wedding ring.”
The bartender said “Boy, you thinkin with the wrong head
You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here instead!”
As he walked away, he gave us both a wink
Then he turned on all the lights and said
“Everybody! Finish your Drinks!”

And the band said:
“All you wanna do is ride around Sally ride
All you wanna do is ride around Sally ride
But one of these early mornings
I’m gonna be wipin your weepin eyes.”

And the band said
“If you free me from that prison if that railroad train was mine
You know I’d move further down the line
Far from Folsom Prison, that’s where I long to stay
I’d let that lonesome whistle, blow my blues away”

She said “baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
I can see it in your eyes, tomorrow you gonna have some regrets.
But why don’t you walk me home, cause you aint seen nothin yet!”

I said “Baby, Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
Why don’t you slip off that party dress?
One thing I can tell you is, I aint gonna have no regrets.”

Well the radio was playin, playin nice and low
The radio was playin, and we were dancin nice and slow
It was playin a song from a long time ago
We were movin and grooving baby’
And this is how that song did go:

Well, If I stay with that woman, I know I’m gonna die,
Gotta find a brand new baby, that’s the reason why
I’m goin to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come
They got some crazy women there and I’m gonna get me one.”
