Lyrics to My Fair Lady
I'm weary from my travels
I've come a long, long way
I haven't felt a woman
Since last that I was here
Oh, won't you bring me whiskey
And run your fingers through my hair?
Oh, won't you whisper sweet words
Oh, so softly in my ears?
Can you always tell a sinner
From a saint, if he's the same?
And is your thick skin growing thinner?
Have you found someone to blame?
She said, "You need not worry, child
Now is not the time"
Then she kissed me on the forehead
And turned my water into wine
My fair lady
My fair lady
Just let me hold you for a while
Just let me hold you for a while
My fair lady
My fair lady
Just let me hold you for a while
Just let me hold you for a while
Keep lookin' out your window
When the storms are raging on
Oh-oh, before you know, gal
I'll be coming back ashore
Coming back to my hometown
Where I saw you first
I knew you were the one
I knew it all along
Go on, claim my heart
Some night you just seem forever lasting
Low lights make me know that you're there (Oh)
My fair lady
My fair lady
Oh, won't you lay here by my side?
Just let me hold you for a while
My fair lady
My fair lady
Oh, won't you lay here by my side?
Just let me hold you for a while
Won't you lay here by my side?
Just let me hold you for a while
I've come a long, long way
I haven't felt a woman
Since last that I was here
Oh, won't you bring me whiskey
And run your fingers through my hair?
Oh, won't you whisper sweet words
Oh, so softly in my ears?
Can you always tell a sinner
From a saint, if he's the same?
And is your thick skin growing thinner?
Have you found someone to blame?
She said, "You need not worry, child
Now is not the time"
Then she kissed me on the forehead
And turned my water into wine
My fair lady
My fair lady
Just let me hold you for a while
Just let me hold you for a while
My fair lady
My fair lady
Just let me hold you for a while
Just let me hold you for a while
Keep lookin' out your window
When the storms are raging on
Oh-oh, before you know, gal
I'll be coming back ashore
Coming back to my hometown
Where I saw you first
I knew you were the one
I knew it all along
Go on, claim my heart
Some night you just seem forever lasting
Low lights make me know that you're there (Oh)
My fair lady
My fair lady
Oh, won't you lay here by my side?
Just let me hold you for a while
My fair lady
My fair lady
Oh, won't you lay here by my side?
Just let me hold you for a while
Won't you lay here by my side?
Just let me hold you for a while
