I hear my lover call

Singing slow, sweet and low

Ready to lose it all

There she goes, sweet and low

Mother says

"You're even worse than I was as a child"

So help me, Tess

If I see that boy within a mile, I'll kill him

I said, "But momma, I love her

she stole my soul with a kiss

She tasted like cigarettes and her daddy is rich

Keeps my heart in her pocket, she likes the gun in my pants

I'll run away, marry her if I just get the chance"

I hear my lover call

Singing slow, sweet and low

Ready to lose it all

Therе she goes, sweet and low

All through the night, through thе air

The warmest of lights, my baby's there

She took my hand

She said, "Haven't I given you everything? "

She said, "Let's not forget

When you were worth less than the air you breathe"

I said, "But momma, I love her

she stole my soul with a kiss

She tasted like cigarettes and her daddy is rich

Keeps my heart in her pocket, she likes the gun in my pants

I'll run away, marry her if I just get the chance"

I hear my lover call

Singing slow, sweet and low

Ready to lose it all

There she goes, sweet and low

All through the night, through the air

The warmest of lights, my baby's there
