Temptation (Tim-Tayshun) (1949 Version) - Jo Stafford/Red Ingle & The Natural Seven

Written by：Brown/Freed

Oh tell me will you darling

Why you look so bad tonight

There's bags around your eyeballs

Which is red instead of white

Well it were this away

You came when I was alone

Shucks I should know

That you was temptation

You smiled a leering me on

My heart is plumb gone

Cause you was temptation

It'd be thrilling

If you're willing

But if it never can be

Then pity for me

For you was too too bored to be kissed

I couldn't resist

Cause you was temptation

And I was yours

Yes as the serpent tempted Adam

As the apple tempted eve

As a mud hole tempts a mosquito darling

That's how you tempted me

Yeah his corn liquored lips are puckered

As sorghum tempts a bee

As a willow tree tempts a caterpillar darling

That's how you tempted me

You came when I was alone

Shucks I should know

That you was temptation

You smiled a leering me on

My heart is plumb gone

Cause you was temptation

It'd be thrilling

If you're willing

But fine it never can be

Then pity for me

For you was too too bored to be kissed

I couldn't resist

Cause you was temptation

And I was yours

Here's my heart

Take it away

Yes take it away I said

And we will never never never part

I'm just a slave

Just a bad burn slave

I'm a going with you ah ha

Cause you're temptation

And I'm a red hot flame hot cinders

For you
