Robin & Linda Williams - Tessie Mae lyrics

rate me

You're an angel and a little sneak

A sweetheart with a stubborn streak

Good at following your nose

Out any door that wasn't closed

You're July and January

Sunny bright and contrary

Used to doing as you pleased

Back before you sidled up to me

CHORUS:

Hey, Hey your straying days

Are over Tessie Mae

Hey, Hey sit and stay.

Don't turn your head away

Your straying days are over

Tessie Mae

You're five pounds of sugar in a two pound sack

You stole my heart, I don't want it back

You're a tease and you're a flirt

But I don't get my feelings hurt

When you go prancing up the street

White socks on your little feet

And wag your tail, that curlicue

Strangers drop to do the coochie coo

CHORUS:

I'd like to go and see Levon

And tell him that her name is wrong

That Bessie girl he once knew

Tessie she sure sounds like you

But Levon had you pegged it seems

Cause Tessie, you're a drunkards dream

You mend me when I spring a leak

You defend me I don't have to speak

CHORUS:
