The Sooner the Better

Of all the women in Scotland I have to be chained to you We're going to hide out in this hotel Just follow what I say and do We're a honeymooning couple from London And they're after us for sure Could you keep a secret not give us up If they come knocking at your door? You sign your new name, darling The sooner the better Could we trouble you for some supper Just a whiskey and soda We can get these wet clothes off our backs And warm up by the fire I haven't slept in four days I'm not here to kiss your lips The cradle is warm so lets get some rest Then get these handcuffs off your slender wrists So long as you are chained to me, I'll lie wherever you lie But in the morning when we wake up There'll be no time to say goodbye
