I was born in England, raised in France They'd send the coathanger, wouldn't send the pants Tell me how long must I wait Or can I get you now or must I hesitate? I was raised in Alabama, born in Tennessee Don't you like my peaces don't you shake-a my tree If the river was whiskey and I was a duck I'd dive to the bottom boys I'd never come up Well looked down the road far as I can see Got no woman boys the blues got me If the river was whiskey and the branches were wine You could see me at the ---- any old time
