| Oh, tell me will you, darling
|
| Why you look so bad tonight
|
| You got bags around your eyeballs
|
| That are red instead of white
|
| Well, let me put it this way, you came, I was alone
|
| Shucks, I should a knowed that you was temptation
|
| You smiled a leering me on, my heart is plumb gone
|
| Cause you was temptation
|
| It’ll be thrilling if you’re willing
|
| But if it never can be then a pity for me
|
| For you was too bored to be kissed
|
| I couldn’t resist cause you was temptation and I was yours
|
| As the apple tempted Adam
|
| As the serpent tempted Eve
|
| As the willow tree tempts the caterpillar, baby
|
| That’s how you tempted me
|
| As the corn liquor tempts the drunkard
|
| As sorghum tempts the bee
|
| As the mud hole tempts the mosquito, baby
|
| That’s how you tempted me
|
| For you came and I was alone
|
| Shucks, I should a knowed that you was temptation
|
| (A ring-a-ding-ding-ding)
|
| You smiled a leering me on my heart is plumb gone
|
| For you was temptation
|
| It’ll be thrilling if you’re willing
|
| But if it never can be then a pity for me
|
| For you was too bored to be kissed
|
| I couldn’t resist cause you was temptation and I was yours
|
| Here is my heart
|
| Take it away, oh take it away
|
| Say that we will never, never, never part
|
| I’m just a slave, just a dadburn slave
|
| I’m a going to wed you
|
| For you’re temptation and I’m a red hot flame
|
| Hot splinter
|
| For you |
