Jemima Surrender (2000 Digital Remaster)

Jemima Surrender (2000 Digital Remaster) - The Band

Jemima surrender I'm gonna give it to you

Ain't no pretender gonna ride in my canoe

If I were a barker in a girly show

Tell ya what I'd do

I'd lock the door tear my shirt and let my river flow

Oh oh sweet Jemima wont'cha come out tonight

The ground is so warm and the moon is so bright

Jemima surrender that's all you have to do

I'll bring over my Fender

And I'll play all night for you

There's a bird on my head

And his mouth won't talk (He won't talk-- he's in shock)

You know he laughs just like a goose

But looks like a hawk

Jemima you know what I'm tryin' to say

Meet me in the front and we'll fly away

You can change your name

You can find a new walk

You can change your lock it's all the same

You don't have to give out

If you'll only give in

You can jump and shout

But can't you see girl that I'm bound to win

Jemima surrender I'm gonna give it to you

Ain't no pretender wanna see my tattoo

I hand you my rod and you hand me that line

That's what you do

And now we ain't doin' much fishin'

Or drinkin' any wine

Sweet Jemima if I were a king

I'd fix you up with a diamond ring
