Rosen on the bow and here we go
Oh, tell me will you, darling
Why you look so bad tonight
You got bags around your eyeballs
That are red instead of white
Well, let me put it this way, you came, I was alone
Shucks, I should have known that you was temptation
You smiled a leering me on, my heart is plumb gone
Cause you was temptation
Refrão:
It'll be thrilling if you're willing
But if it never can be then a pity for me
For you was too bored to be kissed
I couldn't resist cause you was temptation and I was yours
As the apple tempted Adam
As the serpent tempted Eve
As the willow tree tempts the caterpillar, baby
That's how you tempted me
As the corn liquor tempts the drunkard
As sorghum tempts the bee
As the mud hole tempts the mosquito, baby
That's how you tempted me
For you came and I was alone
Shucks, I should have known that you was temptation
(A ring-a-ding-ding-ding)
You smiled a leering me on my heart is plumb gone
For you was temptation
(Refrão)
Here is my heart
Take it away, oh take it away
Say that we will never, never, never part
I'm just a slave, just a dad burn slave
I'm a going to wed you
For you're temptation and I'm a red hot flame
Hot splinter
For you
