IN MY GIRLISH DAYS

WRITER ERNEST LAWLARS

|
Late hours at night, trying to play my hand
|
Through my window, out stepped a man
|
I didn't know no better
|
Oh boys
|
In my girlish days
|
My mama cried, papa did, too
|
Oh, daughter, look what a shame on you
|
I didn't know no better
|
Oh boys
|
In my girlish days
|
I flagged a train didn't have a dime
|
Trying to run away from that home of mine
|
I didn't know no better
|
Oh boys
|
In my girlish days
|
I hit the highway, caught me a truck
|
Nineteen and seventeen, when the winter was tough
|
I didn't know no better
|
Oh boys
|
In my girlish days
|
(spoken: Lord, play it for me now)
|
All of my playmates is not surprised,
|
I had to travel 'fore I got wise
|
I found out better
|
And I still got my girlish ways
|
