Оригинален текст
I was born in England, raised in France
They'd send the coathanger, wouldn't send the pants
Chorus:
Tell me how long must I wait
Or can I get you now or must I hesitate?
I was raised in Alabama, born in Tennessee
Don't you like my peaces don't you shake-a my tree
(Chorus)
If the river was whiskey and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom boys I'd never come up
(Chorus)
Well looked down the road far as I can see
Got no woman boys the blues got me
(Chorus)
If the river was whiskey and the branches were wine
You could see me at the ---- any old time
(Chorus x 2)
