Memphis in June A shade veranda under Sunday blue sky Memphis in June And my cousin Miranda she's making a blueberry pie I can see the clock outside a ticking and a tocking Everything so peaceful and dandy I can see my grandmama 'cross the street still a rocking Watching all the neighbours go by oh my Memphis in June Sweet oleander blowing perfume in the air everywhere Up jumps the moon to make it so much grander It's paradise honey take my advice honey Cos there's nothing loke old Memphis in June |

If it hadn't been for cotton-eye joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from. Where did you go? Where did you come from cotton-eye joe? (repeat) He came to town like a midwinter storm He rode through the fields so Handsome and strong His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun But all he had come for was having some fun (repeat intro) He brought disaster wherever he went The hearts of the girls was to hell broken sent They all ran away so nobody would know And left only men cause of cotton-eye joe (repeat intro) |

Eve and Adam had a garden everything was great Till one day a boy says pardon Miss my name is snake See that apple over yonder if you'll take a bite You and Adam both are bound to have some fun tonight Go on and eat forbidden fruit It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit It's quite a treat forbidden fruit Go ahead and taste it you don't wanna waste itThe Lord had said in the beginning everything is free Except that apple that leads to sinning so let that apple be But Eve got tempted so she tried it and as all chicks do Teaser her man till he decided he'd just try some too Go on and eat forbidden fruit It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit It's quite a treat forbidden fruit Go ahead and bite it I bet you'd be delightedI hate to tell you all what followed the Lord was most upset Saw them making love and hollered what have you to add And when they made a full confession the Lord said hm I see I guess I'll have to teach you a lesson about not minding me Go on and eat forbidden fruit It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit It's quite a treat forbidden fruit You're all indebted now you gonna get itThe Lord made Eve Adam's madam have his kids and all Placed some labour laws on Adam and he made the snake to fall Ever since the days of Eden folks been sinful my Nowadays they're even eating apples in their pie Go on and eat forbidden fruit It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit It's quite a treat forbidden fruit Go ahead and taste it you don't wanna waste it Oh go ahead and bite it I bet you'd be delighted You always did it now you'll gonna get it Forbidden fruit |

Rags old iron rags old iron All he was buying was just rags and old iron I heard that old rag man now making his rounds He came right to my alley lord with sorrowful sounds Crying rags old iron and pulling his cart Ask him how much he'd give me for my broken heart Rags old iron rags old iron All he was buying was just rags and old iron So I asked that old rag man how much he would pay For a heart that was broken baby when you went away For a burnt out old love light that no longer beams And a couple of slightly used second hand dreams Rags old iron rags old iron All he was buying was just rags and old iron For those big empty promises you used to make For those memories of you that are no longer sweet I wish he could haul them off down the street Rags old iron rags old iron All he was buying was just rags and old iron When love doesn't last tell me what is it worth It was once mama's most precious possession on earth When I asked that old rag man if he'd like to buy He just shook his head and continued to cry Rags old iron rags old iron All he was buying was just rags and old iron Rags old iron rags old iron Rags old iron rags old iron rags old iron |

I don't want him you can have him He's not worth fighting for Besides there's plenty more where he came from I don't want him you can have him I'm giving him the sack And he can go right back where he came from I'm afraid I never loved him Sweetie he'd be better off with you I could never make him happyAll I ever wanted to do was Run my fingers through his curly locks Mend his underwear and darn his socks Fetch his slippers and remove his shoes Wipe his glasses when he's read the news Rub his forehead with a gentle touch Mornings after when he's had a little too much Kiss him gently when he cuddles near And give him babies one for every yearSo you see that I don't want him you can have him You can have him cos I don't want him Because he's not the man for me Then I'd close the window while he soundly slept Then I'd raid the icebox where the food is kept I'd fix the breakfast that would please him most Eggs and coffee some apricot juice and some buttered toast Oh oh then I'd go out and buy the papers And when they've been read spend the balance of the day in bedSo you see that I don't want him you can have him You can have him cos I don't want him because he's not my man I don't want him you can have him You can have him I don't want him You can have him I don't want him Cos he's not the man for me |

Just say that I need him as roses need the rain And tell him that without him my dreams are all in vain Just say I love him loved him from the start And tell him that I'm yearning to say what's in my heart Just say that I need him as roses need the rain Tell him that without him my dreams are all in vainIf you should chance to meet him anytime anyplace anywhere Say I was a fool to leave him Tell him how much a fool can care And if he tells you he's lonely now and then Just won't you tell him that I love him And want him back againIf you should see him anytime anyplace anywhere Tell him I was a fool to leave him Tell him how much a fool can care And if he tells you he's lonely now and then Won't you just say I love him and want him back again Won't you just say I love him and want him back again |
