Sweet N Low

I hear my lover call

Singing slow, sweet, and low

Ready to lose it all

There she goes, sweet and low

Mother said

"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 mama, 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 a 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 light

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 mama, 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 a 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 light

My baby's there
