Dobro Ladies

(Album: Michael Franks - 1973)

Well, I left you down in Biloxi
And I didn't feel a bit ashamed
I had touched you down at the Roxy
Before I even knew your name

And I called you my Dobro Lady
And I hope it don't hurt your pride
When I kissed you and called you baby
You certainly knew how to slide
(Slide)

Well, I left you down in Dallas
With a spoon-and-a-half of coke
In a hotel called "The Palace"
Which was obviously meant as a joke

And I called you my Dobro Lady
And I hope it don't hurt your pride
When I kissed you and called you baby
You certainly knew how to slide
(Mm-hmm slide, slide, slide)

Well, I met you right here in Tucson
And you lent me your Mercedes Benz
When this gig folds guess I'll cruise on
But I hope that we can still be friends

Should I call you my Dobro Lady
Do you think it would hurt your pride
If I kissed you and called you baby
You think you would know how to slide?
(Mm-hmm slide, slide, mm-hmm slide)
