My Baby Left Her Jinglin' John For Foldin' Fred

(앨범: Sings The Songs Of Dallas Frazier - 1968)

Well, my baby left her jingling John for folding Fred
True love never backed up one word that she said
That proved to me that a black bear is green when it's red
My baby left her jingling John for folding Fred.

My baby told me, Honey, you're poor but I love you
And you could make me happy just living in a little old shack
You seemed real happy with my jingling John's pocket money
Till the grapevine told her that folding Fred was back.

Well, my baby left her jingling John for folding Fred
True love never backed up one word that she said
That proved to me that a black bear is green when it's red
My baby left her jingling John for foldding Fred

Now her love was sweeter than a great big watermelon
And love was fifty-fifty right done the middle of the line
I'd a-been better off if I'd never of tasted her loving
She took the heart from a melon and left me nothing but the rhine.

Well, my baby left her jingling John for folding Fred
True love never backed up one word that she said
That proved to me that a black bear is green when it's red
My baby left her jingling John for foldding Fred.

Well, my baby left her jingling John for folding Fred
