Lyrics:
Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts,
Boy, how they could love!
Swore to be true to each other,
True as the stars above!
'Cause he was her man,
high shall we build this wall?
I could've said more but it would've seemed heartless
How hard did I slam that door?
I swore I'd never walk away
I go down upon my knees
And I'm changing, I swore I'd never compromise
But you convinced me otherwise
I'll do anything you please
You see in
mama's Maybelline
And took the train to New Orleans
And swore she was never gonna go, go
Back to the black water bayou
Mama said, child, don't go
There is a home out of harms swift way
I set myself to find
I swore to my love I would
Bring her there
Then I left my love behind
The desert was
so long ago you'd swore we'd never part
But I guess you must have had a change of heart
Well goodbye to all those castles in the air
And goodbye
Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A tear for him, a tear for me, A tear for the love he swore
A tear for him and one for me, and one for under the cedar tree
Hello heartache who let you in
I swore the last time never again
Back together just you and me
Where's you old friend Mr. Misery
I went and did
Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts,
Boy, how they could love!
Swore to be true to each other,
True as the stars above!
'Cause he was her man,
swore my life away, deprived me of my rest
Still I love my faithless Flora, the Lily of the West.
(Still I love my faithless Flora, the Lily
bottom
He said that it was from when
The warden whacked it so hard
Mm mm mm mm, mm mm mm mm, ah
Once there was this girl who
Swore that one day she would
was barkin' at the two men
Who were gamblin' in the dark
Stagger Lee and Billy
Two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw a seven
Billy swore
Don't mind telling you, in my humble fash
That you thrill me through, with a tender pash,
When you said you care, 'magine my emoshe
I swore then
down in his home)
(Oh, the blue sky, it's his home)
(Eddie's blue sky home)
(Oh, the blue sky, it's his home)
I remember when, yeah
I swore I knew
that threw
The overalls in Mrs Murphy's chowder
So we dragged the pants from out the soup and laid them on the floor
Each man swore upon his breast
and stuck a funnel in my mouth
And force fed me nothing but sauerkraut
Until I was twenty six and a half years old
That's when I swore that someday
worse than Dante's.
So my dear I swore,
"Never, never more !"
On my list, I insisted that kissing must be crossed out.
Now, I find I was blind,
wait for you
Should I fall behind wait for me
Swore we'd travel together
Darlin' side by side
We'd help each other
Stay in stride
Each lover
worse than Dante's.
So my dear I swore,
"Never, never more !"
On my list, I insisted that kissing must be crossed out.
Now, I find I was blind,
gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feet
And I swore and I took another pull, my Bessie can't be beat
Now there's a flood out in California
be true
You swore that you never would leave me baby
Whatever happened to you?
And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams
forty-nine
But she swore to me that she was still in her youth
When I turned down the lights I knew that that's the truth
Had a girl on a border I guess
Oh the stars they did shine
The night you swore that you'd be mine
And you promised always to be true and to be kind
On that Shenandoah Hill
wise
You cut me, me cut me right down to size
Well, now I'm just a fool in Gloria's eyes
Swore I'd get you back I was so sure
I'd get you back like
