Stolen kisses

Your husband says he's nervous
ever since I arrived
I can easily understand him
I'm just the same
if it comes to that

I told your man I want her
ever since I arrived
he could easily understand me
he's just the same
if it comes to that



       sweet lady of the land
       close at hand
       close at hand
       country woman of my heart
       far apart
       far apart

he left us both alone to
do some work in the fields
I was shaking in my knees and
mist 'fore my eyes
I could hardly see

I watched your mellow movements
stooping over your work
I was shaking in my knees and
mist 'fore my eyes
I could hardly see

    refr.

You went to get some water
from the old water-well
I was thinking do or die now
soft sweet lips
and your smiling eyes

The sun and I we're both hot
in need of some release
I was thinking do or die now
soft sweet lips
and your smiling eyes


   refr.
