Get Me My Love

Get me my love, my morning Dove
She’s my Yvonne and my only one
Sweet morning flower, she brings me power
Brings me the strength of the mornin’ sun
When I’m all alone, longing for home
And thinking of her many charms
I find myself in the place of the warm embrace in her arms
They say that the love it grows stronger
When your true one is afar
And right now baby, all I’m feelin
Is an achy-braky heart
That’s how I know that I found me a mermaid
And all my lovin she did steel
And with a fisherman’s hand I’m gonna
Pull back into my creel
It all started with a little denial
I’m never lettin that happen to me
A treat I might take, just a little piece of cake
And in the mornin I’m gon get away free
But I got fooled with a littl bit of magic
And in the mornin, still there I lie
Pretty soon it’s gonna be until the day I die
Ch+
Go get you yo love, your mornin’ dove
Don’t ‘you be missing out on all the fun
Eat to the clambake where you just might make eyes
With your only true sweet one
Take a little chance, asked her to dance
Nine glimmer of the evenin sun
And your lucky star’s gonna find your own sweet Yvonne
Hoist ‘em up boys
We gotta get her there/ make that port on time
I’m gonna make it to the clambake
And find my sweet Yvonne tonight (2x)
Hot little lady she’s drivin me crazy
And she knows just a what I like
I guess that makes me her big sweet daddy
And that’ll make feel alright
If I’m a the king, and she’s a my queen
I give the whole world for her to take
Let’s get to cookin in the kitchen and see what else we can make
Take you’re little lady out and show her a bit of fun
And if you get real lucky you might even get to take her home
And if things go real well, you might even git you some…..
I’m gonna take my girl home and get me tonight!

Oooh, whoo-hoo 4x
Yeah, git you on down to Mexico
Sweet little place that you wanna go
Why don’t you hold up in old Progresso Tonight
Find yourself in the old town square
Hot Chiquita mammas and some tequila
Maybe get on up to Merida, Alright
Whoo
South of the border’s where I wanna be
Whoo
Spicy women, hot weather and its e-a-z
Mi espanol es no bueno, Chief
Pro favor, una mas tequila, please
They got a Mariachi band there in the street I like
You got to get out, get up on your feet
Do a little dinner the in the street
Don’t give no care people see you feelin nice
Find you a place to weather the storm
Jump on in, dry off and get warm
If you make it to that worm you’re gonna make it through the night
Whoo
South of the border’s where I wanna be
Whoo
Spicy women, hot weather and its e-a-z
I can find my car, someone took my keys
And it’s just the kind of place you don’t wanna leave
Let’s get to the hacienda, make it outta sight
Take a little trip to the Sunday fair
Im gonna meet a lot of real nice folks out there
They just might ask you to run for mayor this year
But that worm’s gonna get right under your hair
Old knows, you ain’t got that much to spare
End up on the hood of a keep in your underwear, man?
Now c’mon, that ain’t right!
Whoo
South of the border’s where I wanna be
Whoo
Spicy women hot weather and its e-a-z
Spent the night up the federates jail
And I could sure use some dinero so’s that I can make bail
Cuz the bullpen down here’s gettin’ mighty tight
Outta the pen, I’m gonna stroll the town
Merida to Progresso, yeah, I get around
So quiet you could hear a pin drop on the street
They say no foul begets no harm
And I got my old lady back on my arm
Now I’m gonna run for mayor, that’s why Mexico is so damn sweet
Whoo
South of the border’s where I wanna be
Whoo
Spicy booze hot women and its e-a-z
Throw around some cash, election’s won with ease
Now that’s a helluva way to get back on your feet
That’s right, you can call mr mayor if you please
Whoo
South of the border’s where I wanna be
Whoo
Can’t find my car, someone took my keys
Whoo
Just the kind of place you don’t wanna leave
Whoo, whoo…

I can’t believe it babe, I’m back on the run
Seems like I was havin just too much fun
Just one drink, maybe 2, 3 or 4
I know I’d face the music when I walked through that door
I came home drunk 2x
I can’t walk a straight line and I lost all my money
Good lord, how that rum’ll make you feel real funny
Well I’m headin’ out babe, I won’t be too long
Just a little swaray, some drink and some song
I meant to come home early, but so I was told
I took 5, 6, 7, maybe 8 for the road
I came home drunk 2x
I’m slurring my speech and I’m stumbling around
It all seemed so easy when I was puttin’ ‘em down
Well at least I remembered where I live
But I may have forgotten bout them two damn kids
Ass the sun sets, baby, so it may rise
I knew I’s in some deep shit when I looked in yo eyes
I came home drunk 6x
I don’t know how you do it, puttin’ up with my shit
It ain’t know surprise that you’s a little upset
How’d it happen baby, let me see
Seems like there was a party and a bottle and me
We was havin us a whoot, but before too long
I looked deep into that bottle and the booze, it was gone!
I came home drunk 6x
I didn’t wanna be rude babe you know that ain’t me
I just had to pick up the hospitality
I came home drunk
Drunk as a Skunk 3x
Three sheets to the wind, babe, you know it’s a sin
The probability is high I’m gonna have to do all that shit again

Every day when she walks the street
A handsome young man she might come to meet
He asks of her that they might dance a while
The thought of his touch makes her whole body smile
But then she remembers what dear Momma said,
“Watch out, for the man he only wants your bed.”
So her freedoms she’ll keep for a moment yet
And stay clear of the thing called regret
Oh…
When the smart woman gives to the man her love
Only through the back door she gon let him come
She knows that he only will bring her pain
But if he pleases her she might let him come back again
Her house may feel empty but that’s just fine
For the little ones they only interrupt the wine
So keep him knockin on your back door
Don’t want no children to crawl on the floor
Another struggle for woman kind
Seems like the men have unlimited time
For the burdens of life she must double bear
While the men they all relaxin’ without a care
And then the boss, he might just give a wink
It be so comfortable here on my lap, I think
It makes him feel like a strong man, but don’t you know
But the woman remains in control
You see, I remember when I was young
Just like a dog when called I’d come
To do whatever thing that my lover said
With the hopes that I might soon lose my head
But I thought that at some point maybe things, they had changed
Maybe our positions they become rearranged
Seems men not so smart and they’ll never be told
That woman rule him since long time ago
Incredible, but man have to see
That woman have her the priority
And when she lets the man come around
It only facilitates her keepin’ him down
Fitting that the woman, she pulls all the strings
Starting with the one that he calls his thing
And when she look him straight in the face
Can she control him with such a small space
