I Always Get a Souvenir

I'm not a stamp collector but I've got a hobby too
 Bringin' home a souvenir, trinkets old and new
 Feathers from a rooster fight, a whistle from a fair
 I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there
 Well, I've got a piece of silky thread from bashful Mary's gown
 A nugget from a stream of gold, and a red nose from a clown
 A horse shoe from a rodeo, a claw from a bear
 Well, I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there
 I always get a souvenir everywhere I go
 Well, I've got some little something from every girl I know
 A pair of fuzzy bobby socks, a lock of curly hair
 I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there
 ♪
 Well, I took a burned out piston from a winning racer car
 Well, I've even got a G string from Gene Sheppard's guitar
 I've collected everything, soap to silverware
 I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there
 Well, now I'm not bragging when I say with women I have dealt
 Well, you can tell I've been there by the notches on my belt
 Yes, I've collected different things from every love affair
 I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there
 I've got a fine collection but you're my pride and joy
 You're the one I like the best, you make me a happy boy
 To trade you for a million things, hon', I wouldn't dare
 'Cause you and me are gonna get me another souvenir
