Lyrics

Wise men say that only fools rush in
But the fortuneteller told me that she saw you coming on the wind
The woman of my dreams was written in the tarot hand
She didn't see a wedding day, she didn't see a faraway man
Oh, Cleona
Why you wanna do a fool thing like this?
Oh, Cleona
Before you are wed, give us a little kiss
Immigrant daughter never fully understand
With a Spanish-sounding surname, you just don't get an even hand
They put you in a different district, a different directory
In school they called you "Harry Spick"
A name that sounds just fine to me, yeah
Oh, Cleona
Why you wanna do a fool thing like this?
Oh, Cleona
Before you are wed, give us another kiss
Maria, Maria, take me down south your borderline
Down from your Ohio valley through the
Cactus thicket and your pastures wide
Will we cross the river to get to the other side?
Cleona
Cleona
Cleona
Don't wanna own ya
Just wanna phone ya
Cleona
Cleona
Cleona
Don't wanna own ya
Just wanna phone ya
We'll be flogging a dead horse 'til we finally want what we get
By then I'll be a fugitive riding out into the west
On a dusty dead man's trail, crossed by suicide tumbleweeds
Running like an outlaw, pining for you 'til you're free, yeah
Oh, Cleona
Why you wanna do a fool thing like this?
Oh, Cleona
Before you are wed, give us a dying kiss
Cleona
