Lyrics

Jemima, surrender, I'm gonna give it to you Ain't no pretender, gonna ride in my canoe If I were a barker in a girly show Tell you what I'd do I'd lock the door, tear my shirt and let my river flow Oh, oh, Sweet Jemima, won't you come out tonight? The ground is so warm and the moon is so bright Jemima, surrender, that's all you have to do I'll bring over my Fender and I'll play all night for you There's a bird on my head and his mouth won't talk You know, he laughs just like a goose, but he looks like a hawk Jemima, you know what I'm tryin' to say Meet me in the front and we'll fly away You can change your name, you can find a new walk You can change a lock, it's all the same You don't have to give out if you'll only give in You can jump and shout, but can't you see, girl, that I'm bound to win Jemima, surrender, I'm gonna give it to you Ain't no pretender, gonna see my tattoo I hand you my rod and you hand me that line That's what you do, now, we ain't doin' much fishin' Or drinkin' any wine Sweet Jemima, if I were a king I'd fix you up with a diamond ring
