Temptation

Lyrics

Oh, tell me will you, darling
 Why you look so bad tonight
 You got bags around your eyeballs
 That are red instead of white
 Well, let me put it this way, you came, I was alone
 Shucks, I should a knowed that you was temptation
 You smiled a leering me on, my heart is plumb gone
 Cause you was temptation
 It'll be thrilling if you're willing
 But if it never can be then a pity for me
 For you was too bored to be kissed
 I couldn't resist cause you was temptation and I was yours
 As the apple tempted Adam
 As the serpent tempted Eve
 As the willow tree tempts the caterpillar, baby
 That's how you tempted me
 As the corn liquor tempts the drunkard
 As sorghum tempts the bee
 As the mud hole tempts the mosquito, baby
 That's how you tempted me
 For you came and I was alone
 Shucks, I should a knowed that you was temptation
 (A ring-a-ding-ding-ding)
 You smiled a leering me on my heart is plumb gone
 For you was temptation
 It'll be thrilling if you're willing
 But if it never can be then a pity for me
 For you was too bored to be kissed
 I couldn't resist cause you was temptation and I was yours
 Here is my heart
 Take it away, oh take it away
 Say that we will never, never, never part
 I'm just a slave, just a dadburn slave
 I'm a going to wed you
 For you're temptation and I'm a red hot flame
 Hot splinter
 For you
