Marty Robbins - Joli Girl lyrics

Aw, we walked the streets
Of Greenwich Village
Holdin' hands like school kids in
The summer August sun
Smilin' at the passing strangers
On their way
And wishin' the end would never come
Then a flower lady sold me one
Red rose to give you
For your chestnut hair, just to make it shine
Then I held it close to me, and I whispered
Joli girl, when will you be mine

Then we stepped up to the
First stand on the corner
For some coconut champagne
And a taxi driver cussed us
'cause a blind man got his tip
And tapped "thank you" with his cane
And we ducked out of the rain
Into a dusty little shop
That traded books and fluffy hats
Rings and beads
Then I held it close to me, and I whispered
Joli girl, you're all I need

Aw, Joli girl, please don't ask me how
Long I'll be stayin'
You and your dandy ship of
Dreams that we can share
Tomorrow is just another day
I'm maybe far away
Joli girl, I might be anywhere
So let's spread our blanket in the
Park and hold each other close
The night is coming on and
Soon we'll have to go
But remember, Joli girl, oh remember
Joli girl, I love you so
