I'm weary from my travels
|
I've come a long, long way
|
I haven't felt a woman
|
Since last that I was here
|
Oh, won't you bring me whiskey
|
And run your fingers through my hair?
|
Oh, won't you whisper sweet words
|
Oh, so softly in my ears?
|
Can you always tell a sinner
|
From a saint, if he's the same?
|
And is your thick skin growing thinner?
|
Have you found someone to blame?
|
She said, "You need not worry, child
|
Now is not the time"
|
Then she kissed me on the forehead
|
And turned my water into wine
|
My fair lady
|
My fair lady
|
Just let me hold you for a while
|
Just let me hold you for a while
|
My fair lady
|
My fair lady
|
Just let me hold you for a while
|
Just let me hold you for a while
|
Keep lookin' out your window
|
When the storms are raging on
|
Oh-oh, before you know, gal
|
I'll be coming back ashore
|
Coming back to my hometown
|
Where I saw you first
|
I knew you were the one
|
I knew it all along
|
Go on, claim my heart
|
Some night you just seem forever lasting
|
Low lights make me know that you're there (Oh)
|
My fair lady
|
My fair lady
|
Oh, won't you lay here by my side?
|
Just let me hold you for a while
|
My fair lady
|
My fair lady
|
Oh, won't you lay here by my side?
|
Just let me hold you for a while
|
Won't you lay here by my side?
|
Just let me hold you for a while |
