Your red rosy lips
Never heard your lying tongue, little girl
No never heard your lying tongue

That long lonesome road
So won't you hang down head and cry little girl
Oh hang down your little head and cry

I give you all my money
I give you all my time
But you give me the back of your head, little girl
Oh you give me the back of your head
