Alexis |
Alexis, thank you for a pleasant southern day |
Spent on the levy throwin' pennies in the bay |
And talkin 'bout the rich folks |
On the big boats that pass that way |
You were just a young girl |
I just could not stay |
Alexis, I can’t remember how we met back then |
Was on my way to Atlanta, now I’m on that road again |
Not really poor, had money just not to spend |
You were just a young girl, and I was in need of a friend |
Alexis, you always used to talk about |
Leavin your hometown, headin on south |
Maybe down to New Orleans |
And you wanted me to help you out |
But you were just a young girl |
And I was just a hobo… that had my doubts |
Alexis, I did not want to… want to leave you there |
Sometimes this life we lead is so unfair |
I wanted to take you with me |
But I did not dare |
You were just a young girl and I could not pay your fare |
Alexis, you always used to talk about |
Leavin your hometown, headin on south |
Maybe down to New Orleans |
And you wanted me to help you out |
But you were just a young girl |
And I was just a hobo… that had my doubts |
I had my doubts |
