Lyrics: I knew a girl with four feet of hair And her eyes they actually did shine bright But she wouldn't have some vin ordinaire I was nearly just out of her sight
You can't ever change her mind No you can't save the preacher's daughter And the lord knows I've been tryin' every day I will never get through to you Ah but honey if I do I'll be singin' all the way I'll be singin' all the way
Days in the sun they made her skin brown And she grew up just like a rattan She got so high and I was so down She wanted a much taller man
CHORUS
I knew a boy who lay in the field And he thought of another time But now here I am and I can almost feel Her legs pressed up next to mine
CHORUS
I'll be singin' all the way
