Don't Take the Girl |
| Johnny’s daddy was takin' him fishin' |
| When he was eight years old |
| Little girl came through the front gate |
| Holdin' a fishin' pole |
| His dad looked down and smiled, |
| Said, «We can’t leave her behind |
| Son, I know you don’t want her to go But someday you’ll change you’re mind» |
| And Johnny said |
| «Take Jimmy Johnson, |
| Take Tommy Thompson, |
| Take my best friend Bo Take anybody that you want |
| As long as she don’t go Take any boy in the world |
| Daddy, please |
| Don’t take the girl» |
| Same old boy |
| Same sweet boy |
| Ten years down the road |
| He held her tight and kissed her lips in Front of the picture show |
| Stranger came and pulled a gun |
| Grabbed her by the arm |
| Said, «If you do what I tell you to there |
| Won’t be any harm» |
| And Johnny said, |
| «Take my money, |
| Take my wallet, |
| Take my credit cards |
| Here’s a watch that my grandpa gave me Here’s the key to my car |
| Mr., give it a whirl |
| But please |
| Don’t take the girl» |
| Same old boy |
| Same sweet girl |
| Five years down the road |
| There’s gonna be a little one and she |
| Says it’s time to go Doctor says, «The baby’s fine |
| But you’ll hafta leave |
| Cuz his mamma’s fading fast» |
| And Johnny hit his knees |
| And there he prayed, |
| «Take the very breath you gave me Take the heart from my chest |
| I’ll gladly take her place if you’ll let me Make this my last request |
| Take me outta this world |
| God, please |
| Don’t take the girl» |
