Your Turn
Frosty Heidi and Frank Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

When I was in Missouri
Would not let me be
Wouldn't rest content
'Till I came to Tennessee

If you follow me baby
I'll turn your money green
I show you more money
Rockerfeller ever seen

If the river was whiskey
Baby and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom
Lord and I'd never come up

Lord the woman I hate
I see her every day
But the woman I love
She's so far away

Talk about *sweetheart*
I declare I'm a honest man
Give my woman so many dollars
It broke her apron string

All she give me was trouble
I'm troubled all the time
I been troubled so long
Trouble don't worry my mind

I been down so long
It seem like up to me
Woman I love
She done quit poor me

What's the need of me hollering
What's the need of me crying




Woman I love
She don't pay me no mind
