Darlin' Don't Lyrics

Sally came over to my house, she's the Devil

She wears the Devil's clothes on Christmas Eve

Then she serves me tea and bagels from the table

Well, the Devil flew in from Georgia, and ain't she sweet?

She's a real fine southern belle with southern flavor,

Can you believe that I'd do anything but get a bite to eat?

I've been waiting all my life for you to take my coat

Wherefore art thou, Ro-me-old-me? Heal me, darlin', don't

Darlin', don't

Walking down by train tracks in the summer,

The Goddess of the Earth she did appear

When I told her my whole life'd been pulled asunder

She just smiled at me and she sipped again her beer

She's a real fine southern belle with southern flavor,

Can you believe that I'd do anything but try to pull her nearer?

I've been waiting all my life for you to take my coat

Wherefore art thou, Ro-me-old-me? Heal me, darlin', don't

Darlin', don't

In the gutter, in the back of a train car, in the alley,

I dreamed that my dear mother was a saint

When I asked her if that meant my blood was holy,

She said "Boy, you think you're pious, but ya ain't"

She's a real fine southern belle with southern flavor,

And I hope she doesn't mind that I'll be getting in quite late

I've been waiting all my life for you to take my coat

Wherefore art thou, Ro-me-old-me? Heal me, darlin', don't

Darlin', don't

Well, I wake up and I think that day has broken,

But I find the only thing broken is my mind

And my heart is its ridiculous companion

That stumbles, kicks, and slowly tags behind

And the line is fine, but it divides a secret,

Could you believe that I'd do anything but try to toe that line?

I've been waiting all my life for you to take my coat

Wherefore art thou, Ro-me-old-me? Heal me, darlin', don't

Darlin', don't
