My Fair Lady

I’m weary from my travels
I’ve come a long, long way
I haven’t felt a woman
Since last that I was here
Oh, won’t you bring me whiskey
And run your fingers through my hair?
Oh won’t you whisper sweet words
Oh, so softly in my ear?

Oh, you're late
Oh, you're late
You're late

Can you always tell a sinner
From a saint if he’s the same?
Is your thick skin growing thinner
Have you found someone to blame?
She said you need not worry, child
Now is not the time
Then she kissed me on the forehead
And turned my water into wine

My fair lady, my fair lady
Just let me hold you for a while
Just let me hold you for a while

My fair lady, my fair lady
Just let me hold you for a while
Just let me hold you for a while

Keep looking out your window
When the storms are raging on
Oh-oh, and before you know, gal
I’ll be coming back ashore
Coming back to my hometown
Where I saw you first
I knew you were the one
I knew it all along
Go on, claim my heart
Some nights just seem forever lasting
Low lights make me know that you’re there
Oh

My fair lady, my fair lady
Oh, won’t you lay here by my side?
Just let me hold you for a while

My fair lady, my fair lady
Oh, won’t you lay here by my side?
Just let me hold you for a while

Won’t you lay here by my side?
Just let me hold you for a while
