[00:03.26] My friend finally made a record
[00:06.35] And took to the road and played guitar
[00:09.42]
[00:10.23] He met this girl from Pennsylvania
[00:13.68] Stuck by his side in love and war
[00:16.69]
[00:17.44] Fearful and fussy but so faithful
[00:20.39]
[00:21.01] Poor and devoted real and true
[00:24.02]
[00:24.64] She's not the type to be forsaken
[00:27.78]
[00:28.48] And I see much of her in you
[00:31.66]
[00:37.81] While on a gig up in Toronto
[00:40.71]
[00:41.40] During a pause between his show
[00:44.60]
[00:45.16] He met this foxy German stallion
[00:48.08]
[00:48.77] Who understood him head to toe
[00:51.57]
[00:52.38] She played it smart and learned his weakness
[00:55.58]
[00:56.22] And made him confess and yield into
[00:59.17]
[00:59.92] Her lustful whims became his fancy
[01:03.24]
[01:03.80] And I would fear the same from you
[01:07.25]
[01:13.39] Then in the swank suburbs of Houston
[01:16.98] Off in a mansion built of stone
[01:20.12]
[01:20.81] Escorted by this wealthy widow
[01:23.96]
[01:24.65] Into her lounge and left alone
[01:27.85]
[01:28.47] Her maid announced that she was waiting
[01:31.61]
[01:32.25] For him to come and rendezvous
[01:35.39]
[01:36.01] Where he bestowed a long relation
[01:39.90] One like I hope to have with you
[01:43.28]
[02:26.57] Then on the sands right off the ocean
[02:29.64]
[02:30.26] Just as the sun sank in the sea
[02:33.52]
[02:34.15] So did my buddy slow and easy
[02:38.22] Into a freak of fancy-free
[02:41.56]
[02:42.24] It was a group in automation
[02:45.38]
[02:46.13] Getting together two by two
[02:49.36]
[02:50.11] Where people live and love one another
[02:54.04] People who live like me and you
[02:57.78]
[03:03.93] Then on the beach in warm Miami
[03:06.98]
[03:07.73] There was a teacher far from school
[03:10.91]
[03:11.59] Taught him the way to please a woman
[03:15.56] Made him concede the Golden Rule
[03:18.82]
[03:19.63] He learned to do it unto others
[03:22.89]
[03:23.51] As he used to just have them do
[03:27.52] So they began to come together
[03:31.09]
[03:31.65] As I will try to do with you
[03:35.30]
[03:41.70] And there was one who was a virgin
[03:44.84]
[03:45.58] Never been touched by anyone
[03:48.34]
[03:49.53] She was as pure as any angel
[03:52.85]
[03:53.62] In fact she's called to be a nun
[03:56.62]
[03:57.63] But it was all because my buddy
[04:00.90]
[04:01.64] Just couldn't spoil a girl so true
[04:04.77]
[04:05.65] And so he left her as he found her
[04:09.94] Like I may have to do with you
[04:13.07]
[04:57.74] The girl he's got now he's never left her
[05:01.17]
[05:01.98] She was the first I thought he'd shun
[05:05.19]
[05:06.19] Until I saw my buddy's eyes
[05:09.20]
[05:10.20] When she came forth and bore his son
[05:13.34]
[05:14.21] Since then he's known no other woman
[05:17.34]
[05:18.24] I think his ramblin' days are through
[05:21.48]
[05:22.29] They built a home up in the country
[05:26.42] A life I'd love to build with you
[05:30.05]
[05:36.89] Although you've never known my buddy
[05:39.89]
[05:40.89] And I am sure he don't know you
[05:43.96]
[05:44.98] But you know the life he's living
[05:48.67] And all of the changes he's been through
[05:52.20]
[05:53.14] Sweetheart I'm talking about my buddy
[05:56.20]
[05:57.20] 'Cause I don't want to wind up blue
[06:00.46]
[06:01.27] I could be happy with you only
[06:04.78]
[06:05.35] 'Cause I see all of them in you
