I met a little girl in Saskatoon She was beam and bold and beautiful And higher than the moon Before I could profess she left too soon The words she spoke were enough to make me blue She said, "I know just what you're wishin' Two folks in our condition We'd never leave this barroom with our pride So go about your earthly mission Don't trust no politician You look to yours and I will look to mine" I met a Nashville honky-tonkin' queen And the caress of her amber lips Was reserved for Jim Beam I took her by the arms and she made a scene Whiskey was yet to dull her tongue it seemed She said, "I know just what you're wishin' Two folks in our condition We'd never leave this barroom with our pride So go about your earthly mission Don't trust no politicians You look to yours and I will look to mine" Now I go West, by God, Virginia's where I'm bound She's as wild, she's as wonderful As any girl I've found She'll keep me just as long as I'm around I'll never have to hear that awful sound Well, I know just what you're wishin' Two folks in our condition We'd never leave this barroom with our pride So go about your earthly mission Don't trust no politicians You look to yours and I will look to mine You look to yours and I will look to mine
