It's A Freezing In El Paso

(アルバム： This Is Bare Country - 1970)

I can hear the footsteps walking by my bedside, Lord, she's leaving
I can smell the perfume drifting through my room
If I try to make her stay I'd know she couldn't leave and hurt me
Might as well be on the darkside of the moon.

'Cause it's freezing in El Paso in the summer
All the sweet things here are dying on the vine
Wish that woman could have took it when the hard times came around
Wish her winter hadn't spoil my summertime.

So when her plane takes off for Memphis I'll be sitting in some tavern
I'll be washing out the corners of my mind
When she's in the wild blue yonder I'll be feeding that old jukeboy
Playing every happy song that I can find.

'Cause it's freezing in El Paso in the summer
All the sweet things here are dying on the vine
Wish that woman could have took it when the hard times came around
Wish her winter hadn't spoil my summertime...
