Lyrics

Jemima surrender, I'm gonna give it to you
Ain't no pretender gonna ride in my canoe
If I were a barker at a burly show
Tell you what I'd do
I'd lock the door, I'd tear my shirt
And let my river flow
Sweet Jemima, won't you come out tonight?
The ground's so warm and the moon is so bright
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
Well, we ain't doin' much fishin'
Or drinkin' any wine
Ah, Jemima, you know if I were a king
I'd fix you up with a diamond ring
Jemima surrender, I'm gonna give it to you
I'll bring over my Fender and I'll play all night for you
Yeah, the bird on my head and it might won't talk
Well, he laughs like a goose but he looks like a hawk
Ah, Jemima, you know what I'm tryin' to say
Meet me in the front and we'll fly away
Ah, Jemima, you know what I'm tryin' to say
Tryin' to say, meet me in the front and we'll fly away
Written by: Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson
