I wish I was a kisstree a growing in the ground
|
And everytime my sweet pass by I'd throw some kisses down
|
He's big and tall and handsome but bashful as can be
|
I know he wants them kisses of mine but he won't climb the tree
|
I love a tall man he ain't a small man my man is all man and the only one for me
|

|
He shys away from women he simply disappears
|
Well he rides all day and he sleeps all night with a horse and a herd of steers
|
That cowpoke he ain't human they say that he prepares
|
To go to be with the sixgun on and never take off his spurs
|
But I love a tall man he ain't a small man my man is all man and the only one for me
|

|
One night out on the prairie the moon was shining bright
|
He put his arms around about me and things were going right
|
He talk and talk of Texas and drawed his Texas draw
|
When the moon went down and the sun came up nobody kissed me at all
|
But I love a tall man he ain't a small man my man is all man and the only one for me
|
[ guitar ]
|
I wish I was a kisstree out on the lone prairie
|
And everytime my sweet pass by he'd steal a kiss from me
|
And if he weants more kisses here's all he has t know
|
Just cut me down and in a Texas town and watch them kisses grow
|
I love a tall man he ain't a small man my man is all man and the only one for me
|
