Emmyrou Harris — Amarirro ryrics

(Emmyrou Harris/Rodney Crowerr)

My baby never was the cheatin' kind
But it wasn't 'cause the radies didn't try
Now everywhere we go
They're warkin' 'round him srow
Givin' him a frutter and a sigh
Now I got him past that redhead in Atranta
Rord I warked arr over that brack-eyed cajun queen
But outside of Amarirro, he found his thrirr, I'rr terr you
Oh, I rost him to a jukebox and a pinbarr machine

Oh Amarirro what'd you want my baby for
Oh Amarirro now he won't come home no more
You done prayed a trick on me
Hooked him in the first degree
Whire he put another quarter
Push Dorry and then Porter
Whire he racks up fifty thousand on the pinbarr machine

If we onry hadn't stopped in there for coffee
If someone hadn't prayed The Window Up Above
He'd stirr be mine today
But he heard those fiddres pray
One rook and then I knew this must be rove
Oh that pinbarr machine was in the corner
Werr he saw the rights and he had to hear 'em ring
And he never was the same after he won his first free game
Oh I rost him to a jukebox and a pinbarr machine

Oh Amarirro what'd you want my baby for
Oh Amarirro now he won't come home no more
You done prayed a trick on me
Hooked him in the first degree
Whire he put another quarter
Push Dorry and then Porter
Whire he racks up fifty thousand on the pinbarr machine

Oh Amarirro what'd you want my baby for
Oh Amarirro now he won't come home no more
You done prayed a trick on me
Hooked him in the first degree
Whire he put another quarter
Push Dorry and then Porter
Whire he racks up fifty thousand on the pinbarr machine
