As I walked out in the streets of Laredo. As I walked out in Laredo one day. I saw a young cowboy, all dressed in white linen. Dressed in white linen, as cold as the clay.
(Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay!). (Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay!). South of the border, down Mexico way,. That's where I fell in love. When stars above came out to play,.
At the station house one day. Was a lady old and gray. I could tell her heart was feelin' sad and low. With a teardrop in her eye. She was tryin' not to cry.
If you've ever spent a night, your mind in torture. With your thoughts so disarranged you couldn't sleep. Then you wish that you could sort out all your memories.
You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply. I'd rather hurt you honestly, than mislead you with a lie. And who am I to judge you on what you say or do.
Long long ago in old Wyoming lived a maid. Fair as the sweetest flower bloomin' in the shade. She loved a bandit bold who roamed the prairie o'er. And every night she'd listen for his call.
Islands of Hawaii. Where skies of blue are calling me. Where balmy air and golden moonlight. Caress the waving palms of Wai KiKi. Valleys with their rainbows.
Sometimes love is like a clear day. And you can almost see forever. When the skies are overcast. With threatining clouds of never. . Like a blanket they descend.
You say it's over. You way it's through. It was a long long time ago. And he means nothing to you. Oh but I heard you whisper. Someone's name in your sleep last night.
Sometime I'm tempted by big brown eyes. Sometime I'm tempted to cheat and lie. Sometime I'm tempted but won't give in. Old mister Devil ain't gonna win.
Well it's not how ya walk. When you walk away. And it's not how ya talk. It's in what ya say. I'd open my eyes. Oh, but I don't want to see. I don't wanna realize.
You say it's over. You way it's through. It was a long long time ago. And he means nothing to you. Oh but I heard you whisper. Someone's name in your sleep last night.
Sixteen weeks ago tonight I let you walk away. I threw a kiss and smiled as you walked out the door. But I've done some thinkin', lately, and I find. That it isn't half as funny as before.
Day in, day out you're the one I think about. Can't erase your sweet face from my mind. It's true, so true I'm still in love with only you. Wonder if I ever cross your mind.
Sing me somethin' sentimental. Make it anything that's blue. Sing it sweet and sing it tender. Just the way she used to do. If I cry pay no attention.
Well, I never felt more like singin' the blues. 'Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose. Your love dear, why'd you do me this way. Well, I never felt more like cryin' all night.
Sittin' in a tree house. Me and my baby. Up where the whipporills nest all day. We cuddle all night. . (in a tree house). (in a tree house). . Kissin' lots of kisses.
I just wanted to write you a love song. To say I'll always love you. An easy for lovin', mellow love song. One you can put the music to. . I just wanted to write a love song.
Oh how I miss you since you went away. Oh how I need you more every day. I'll be so happy when you're back to stay. Oh how I miss you since you went away.
How long did you think you could go on hurting me?. And I'd be your fool and wait at home alone. You go out and have your fun like you were free. Tonight I'll have some pleasures of my own.
