I'm a One Woman Man
Johnny Horton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you told me that you loved me, I would feel so proud
If you let me hold you, honey, I'd holler out loud
I'll never love another, even if I can
Oh, come to me, baby, I'm a one woman man

Won't you let me, baby, just to kinda hang around
I'll always love ya, honey, and I'll never let ya down
I'll never love another, even if I can
Oh, come to me, baby, I'm a one woman man

I'd climb the highest mountain if it reached up to the sky
To prove that I loved you, I would jump off and fly
I'd even swim the ocean from shore to shore
To prove that I love just a little bit more

Won't you let me, baby, just to kinda hang around
I'll always love ya, honey, and I'll never let ya down
I'll never love another, even if I can
Oh, come to me, baby, I'm a one woman man

Won't you let me, baby, just to kinda hang around
I'll always love ya, honey, and I'll never let ya down




I'll never love another, even if I can
Oh, come to me, baby, I'm a one woman man

He taught me that when it’s springtime in Alaska it’s 40 below

Also that John Paul Jones, who was a fighting man and sailed to both the east and the west, killed a sailor aboard a ship while employed by the British Admiralty. I guess he changed his name to his initials, JP, and headed to Ameri-KEE to help set them free.
