Lyrics
WELL AS THE MOON ROSE OVER THE SOUTHERN SKY
HE WAS THINKIN BOUT THE GIRL DOWNSTAIRS
HE WAS WONDERIN IF HE'D EVER KISS HER LOVELY LIPS
WHILE SHE SLEPT WITH HER LITTLE BABIES IN THEIR BED
SHE SLEPT WITH HER LITTLE BABIES IN THEIR BED
THEN THEY WALKED OUT INTO THE DESERT NIGHT
AND HE GAZED BACK AT HER WITH A SMILE
OH THE GIRL DOWNTSAIRS SHE COULDN'T FIND HERSELF
SHE JUST SLEPT WITH HER LITTLE BABIES ALL THE WHILE
TRANSITION:
WHERE DOES LOVE GO WHEN YOU'RE OUT ON YOUR OWN
WHERE DOES LOVE GO WHEN YOU'RE FEELING ALL ALONE
WELL HE LAY A PRETTY BLANKET UPON THE GROUND
AND HE ASKED HER IF SHE'D STAY FOR A WHILE
SHE LAYED DOWN BESIDE HIM
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HIS SMILE
TRANSITION
WELL SHE WENT BACK TO HER CHILDREN
AND SHE HID FROM THE MAN THAT SHE DIDN'T LOVED
WONDERIN IF SHE'D EVER GET OUT OF THIS PLACE
WONDERIN IF SHE'D EVER FIND TRUE LOVE
VERSE ONE
