Lyrics

[00:12.43] Jemima Surrender
[00:15.93] I'm gonna give it to you
[00:21.38] Ain't no pretender
[00:24.22] gonna ride in my canoe
[00:28.71] If I were a barker in a girly show
[00:35.05] Tell you what I'd do,
[00:37.92] I'd lock the door, tear my shirt
[00:42.12] And let my river flow
[00:46.04] Oh, oh, Sweet Jemima won't you come out tonight?
[00:50.50] The ground is so warm and the moon is so bright!
[01:07.17] Jemima Surrender
[01:10.43] That's all you have to do
[01:15.42] I'll bring over my Fender
[01:18.66] And I'll play all night for you
[01:22.88] There's a bird on my head
[01:24.90] And his mouth won't talk
[01:31.78] You know he laughs just like a goose
[01:35.83] But looks like a hawk
[01:41.19] Jemima, you know what I'm trying to say
[01:44.92] Meet me in front and we'll fly away
[02:09.58] You can change your name
[02:11.43] You can find a new walk
[02:13.43] You can change a lock
[02:15.72] It's all the same
[02:17.99] You don't have to give out
[02:20.03] If you'll only give in
[02:22.39] You can jump and shout
[02:23.75] But can't you see girl
[02:25.30] That I'm bound to win
[02:31.11] Jemima Surrender
[02:34.55] I'm gonna give it to you,
[02:39.89] Ain't no pretender
[02:42.61] gonna see my tattoo
[02:47.71] I hand you my rod and you hand me that line
[02:54.71] That's what you do
[02:55.93] Now, we ain't doing much fishing
[03:00.15] Or drinking any wine
[03:05.29] Sweet Jemima, if I were a king
[03:08.99] I'd fix you up with a diamond ring
[03:14.65] ~~solo~~
