Crop Comes In
Sweet Marie I can hardly waitThere's gas in the tank tonight's our fateLet us not part sore by the porches lightLets go out together into the nightShe said her friend Peter had a steady wageA home for two, numbers on the pageWell I thought for a while and that's when she spokeThe words as they started I thought a joke ...she said...Come see me when the crop comes inWhen the water's high, you can afford to spendI'm high on the cotton and my dress is fineI'd spend it all - if you could be mineI'm not the kid of woman that's bound to loseSo don't come around with your poor boy bluesWell she was sore from the moment she picked upA plastic fork and a paper cupBut she laughed at the jokes and she sure could smileSomething cheap as love should last a while ...she said...Does a diamond really talk that loudDoes just love not make you proud?When you've got all you can useDon't bore me with your rich girl bluesLetras de cancionesWell Sweet Marie I could hardly waitBack when I thought you were my fateA diamond told you to walk that aisleEven though you could have been my styleCome see me when the crop comes inWhen the water's high, you can afford to spendI'm high on the cotton and my dress is fine... I wouldn't spend it all - if you could be mine From Letras Mania
