Marty Robbins - Jolie Girl lyrics

rate me

Aw, we walked the streets of Greenwich Village<br />

Holdin' hands like school kids in the summer August sun<br />

Smilin' at the passing strangers on their way<br />

And wishin' the end would never come<br />

Then a flower lady sold me one red rose to give you<br />

For your chestnut hair, just to make it shine<br />

Then I held it close to me, and I whispered<br />

Joli girl, when will you be mine<br />

<br />

Then we stepped up to the first stand on the corner<br />

For some coconut champagne<br />

And a taxi driver cussed us, 'cause a blind man got his tip<br />

And tapped "thank you" with his cane<br />

And we ducked out of the rain into a dusty little shop<br />

That traded books and fluffy hats, rings and beads<br />

Then I held it close to me, and I whispered<br />

Joli girl, you're all I need<br />

<br />

Aw, Joli girl, please don't ask me how long I'll be stayin'<br />

You and your dandy ship of dreams that we can share<br />

Tomorrow is just another day, I'm maybe far away<br />

Joli girl, I might be anywhere<br />

So let's spread our blanket in the park and hold each other close<br />

The night is coming on and soon we'll have to go<br />

But remember, Joli girl, oh remember<br />

Joli girl, I love you so
