I'm Looking for a Woman Who Knows How to Treat Me Right

歌詞

You don't seem to understand Her skin is cool like water to the tongue Her eyes smooth like a stone When her heart strings come undone She's a star that I wish upon She's a dream I couldn't own Lord please tell me what to do with that girl The sheriff shared her bed And he claimed her as his wife She loved him once for the man That he was in another life Now I like the sheriff just fine, my friends But I long for his wife O lord please tell me what to do with that man The town where I was born I hold dear to my heart When the townsfolk heard the news Tempers flared, ropes formed a noose Get the traitor, burn that loathsome whore Wake the hangman from his sleep O lord please tell me what to do in this town To walk through the night Without love, no kisses on my lips A world without end My throat is parched, please give me a few sips She offered the spread upon her table And the wine went to my head O lord please tell me what to do with myself Who knows what to do From one minute to the next The hunters spill my blood Tear my clothes, break my bones, place their bets Shuffling boots and screams were heard In the darkness of the night O lord please tell me what to do I'm confused I fell for the sheriff's wife
