Lwonesome Tonight Songtext
Hark the greening of the earth
Curled ferns yet to uncurl
Hark the zingen of the birds
Gurrel yearns yet to ungurrel
Beech and aller, woak and birch
Biddle, bull-head, squirrel’s drey
Willow, aspen, elder, larch
Soldier-King on Maundy day
Curled ferns yet to uncurl
Hark the zingen of the birds
Gurrel yearns yet to ungurrel
Beech and aller, woak and birch
Biddle, bull-head, squirrel’s drey
Willow, aspen, elder, larch
Soldier-King on Maundy day
In er satchel, Pepsi fizz
Peanut-and-banana sandwiches
For this man her shepherd is
Parts her bready, her bready lips
Are you Elvis? Are you God?
Jesus sent to win my trust?
"Love Me Tender," are his words
As I've loved you, so you must
Thrice she draws her lips to kiss
Mouthing for his mouth in vain
Thrice her lonesome kisses miss
"My love, will you come back again?"
Peanut-and-banana sandwiches
For this man her shepherd is
Parts her bready, her bready lips
Are you Elvis? Are you God?
Jesus sent to win my trust?
"Love Me Tender," are his words
As I've loved you, so you must
Thrice she draws her lips to kiss
Mouthing for his mouth in vain
Thrice her lonesome kisses miss
"My love, will you come back again?"
