I'm weary from my travels I've come a long, long way
I haven't felt a woman Since last that I was here Oh, won't you bring me whiskey And run your fingers through my hair? Oh, won't you whisper sweet words Oh, so softly in my ear? Oh, yodelay hee, oh, yodelay hee Yodelay ♪ Can you always tell a sinner From a saint if he's the same? And is your thick skin growing thinner Have you found someone to blame? She said, "You need not worry, child" "Now is not the time" Then she kissed me on the forehead And turned my water into wine My fair lady, my fair lady Just let me hold you for a while Just let me hold you for a while My fair lady, my fair lady Just let me hold you for a while Just let me hold you for a while Keep lookin' out your window When the storms are raging on Oh-oh, and before you know, girl I'll be coming back ashore Coming back to my hometown Where I saw you first I knew you were the one I knew it all along Go on, claim my heart Some nights just seem forever lasting Low lights make me know that you're there ♪ My fair lady, my fair lady Oh, won't you lay by my side? Just let me hold you for a while My fair lady, my fair lady Oh, won't you lay here by my side? Just let me hold you for a while Won't you lay here by my side? Just let me hold you for a while
