Lyrics Ma He's Making Eyes At Me - Tennessee Ernie Ford

Ma He's Making Eyes At Me

Little Lilly was all so silly and shy
and all the girlies knew
she wouldn’t bill and coo
Every single night some smart fella would try
to cuddle up to her
but she would cry
Ma he’s making eyes at me
Ma he’s awful nice to me
Ma he’s almost breakin' my heart
He’s beside me
Mercy!
Let my conscience guide me!
Ma he wants to marry me
be my honey bee
Every minute he gets bolder
Now he’s leanin' on my shoulder
Ma he’s kissing me
Ma he’s making eyes at me
Ma he’s awful nice to me
Ma he’s almost breakin' my heart
He’s beside me
Mercy!
Let my conscience guide me!
Ma he wants to marry me,
Be my honey bee
Ma I’m meeting with resistence
I shall holler for assistance
Ma he’s kissing me
