when I hear you
knocking on mu frontdoor
I’m as happy as a man can be
spritely young woman
without sorrow or grief
you’re shining like a light on me

you ain’t the kind of girl
who’s always messing around
ein’t the kind who fools around with me
when I see you dancing
in your blue cotton summerdress
it’s like heaven shines a light on me

she’s all mine
I know that pretty little woman is
I know she’s yearning for this night
she’s all mine
and we’re heading for a hell off a time
when she puts her little hand in mine

when I first saw you
down at the county fair
I was blown away for your charms
thinking why not
start a country love affair
that kind of thing is gonna do us no harm

she’s all mine
I know that pretty little woman is
I know she’s yearning for this night
she’s all mine
and we’re heading for a hell off a time
when she puts her little hand in mine

when we met each other on the giant ride
you said that you would like to marry me
I said slow down little girl
come on let’s take our time
come and start a love affair with me
then you told me ‘bout your dreams
up in the wheel of joy
and when I think off all the attractions
I’ve ever seen before
you’re the greatest of them all
