Oh Lord, I wish I had never been stoned
'Cause when I get high I can’t leave the women alone
Omaha Sherriff and his broad gettin' ready for slaughter
Their lookin' for the man that turned on the mayor’s daughter.
Omaha honey, had a hold on a hell of a thing
Down in a hollo', every evening you can hear her sing
She said, monkey but showed me the Tulsa Turnaround
Stepped on my toes, turned me on and turned me down
Fit me like a hand in a glove, taught me how to love, y’all.
Five miles of road between me and my house
A rosy-throat sherriff and his deputy trackin' me down
Well, I wish I was back at Baton, takin' it easy
But if a man’s gonna eat fried chicken he’s got to be greasy.
Omaha honey, had a hold on a hell of a thing
Down in a hollo' every evening you can hear her sing
She said that monkey but showed me the Tulsa Turnaround
Stepped on my toes, turned me on and turned me down
Fit me like a hand in a glove, taught me how to love, y’all.
Omaha honey, had a hold on a hell of a thing
Down in a hollo' every evening you can hear her sing
She said, monkey but showed me the Tulsa Turnaround
Stepped on my toes, turned me on and turned me down
Fit me like a hand in a glove, taught me how to love, y’all…
wow I love this song. Me and my grandmother use to play poker all the time. She would sing the gambler to be every time we played. then me and my friend eventually bought evey kenny cd we could find. I found this song on a album from kenny Rodgers and the first edition. This was in 94 when I started listening to Kenny for a while we considered ourselves his number one fans. RIP G-Money Cash my grandmother.
