Albert Lee He’s on the road most of the time driving for the union dollar, it’s the only life he understands my man ain’t no Rhodes Scholar. He’s kind of fat and darn bald too, likes to pack a cheek full of chew, ain’t much to look at, that’s for sure, but honey, can that man @$#*&! He’s the ace in my deck of cards, I like to keep him up my sleeve, only thing is, it breaks my heart every time he has to leave. Ain’t seen him since last Sunday he was headed for Old Eye-Ninety, Lord I know, he’s gone for good, done lost my man to Albert Lee. Oh Albert Lee, Albert Lee, why did you go and take my man? He crashed his rig, down at the Junction, now he’s lost to the fields of Albert Lee. The nights are long and lonesome way down here in Nacogdoches, can’t find a reason to stay, so I’ll just say Buenos Noches. Oh Albert Lee, Albert Lee, why did you go and take my man? He crashed his rig, down at the Junction, now he’s lost to the fields of Albert Lee. © 2001 Corinne Bailey [This message has been edited by Corinne (edited 02-05-2001).] |
