I've Got A Tiger By The Tail Lyrics - Wanda Jackson

I'VE GOT A TIGER BY THE TAIL 

(Harlan Howard - Buck Owens) 

'64 Blue Book Music 

I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see 

I won't be much when you get through with me 

Well I'm a losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale 

Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail 

Well I thought the day I met you, you were meek as a lamb 

Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans 

Now the pace we're livin' takes the wind from my sails 

And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail 

I've got a tiger by the tail... 

Well every night you drag me where the bright lights're found 

There ain't no way to slow you down 

I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale and it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail 

I've got a tiger by the tail...
