I COURTED A SHY LITTLE MISS Sung by: Jewel Hawkins Recorded in Batesville, AR 7/30/62 Click here to listen to the original recording I love her, I did, I adore. I one night a-begging for a kiss, Said, "I'll give you just one and no more." I squeezed in fun; She screamed in a fright, "Don't squeeze me so tight, I'll give you one more as you go." Over the backward I went, In the usual manner, you know. A sound from the house, Says, 'Sic him, Towse (?). We'll give him one more as he goes.' Well, the dog, the blasted brute, Was onto me quick as a flash, And made a . . . And tore my eight-dollar suit. Well, I'll end my story right here, For I haven't been back there since. Oh, bowlegged Towse Went back to the house, A-dragging one leg of my pants. |
