Sir Douglas Quintet - Backwood's Girl lyrics
[Sir Douglas Quintet - Backwood's Girl lyrics]
She left the college cryin'
He didn't understand her no more
Now, she floats around the house
Doesn't get much anymore
She's a queen of all the ladies
But her soul's in deep despair
But she floats around the place
Doesn't even have a care
She used to be the queen of
All the boys in town
She used to be the queen of
The ball whenever she's around
But she left the college cryin'
'Cause he just couldn't understand
Her no more now, she floats around the house
Doesn't get much anymore
She's a queen of all the ladies
But her pride begins to show
She's just another honky-tonk
She's just up in the wall
She's just kind of, kind of backwoods girl
Oh, baby, don't you understand
If it weren't for backwoods girls
Where'd be the backwoods men?
What you gonna try? What you
Gonna do to me, baby, when I go?
If you think I'll be around (Hold it now)
And you'll know it's your clown
When the snow hit's the ground I will be back
She's just a backwoods girl
That's all she is
And she makes this backwoods man awful
Awful good
She's a queen of all the ladies
Don't want to let him down
Most of all she's my lady
And she followed me around
She found the time to write me
Just to let me know you ran away
But Billie Sue was only twelve
When her folks went away
They didn't understand
What it took to make her groove
And then she went to California
With nothin', nothin' to lose
She arrived at the Greyhound station
The corner of 7th and Market
In San Francisco that night
The night, it sure was right
Right there tonight
Well, you see this backwoods girl
She wanted to unfold the mystery
As she walked down
The San Francisco streets at night
She was just a little
Girl that nobody understood they just said
"She'll go through her changes some day"
But, you know as well as I do
That she's her mind in tune
And it makes no difference to her
If her birthday comes in June
Oh well
She's just a backwoods girl in the city
Oh, she's just a backwoods girl in the city
Lord
But will you please, come back to me
Love this backwoods man one more time?
Please come back, back, back
Back to the woods and love me one more time
She's just a back, back, backwoods girl
(Backwoods, that's what she gotta
Claim to fame good night)
He didn't understand her no more
Now, she floats around the house
Doesn't get much anymore
She's a queen of all the ladies
But her soul's in deep despair
But she floats around the place
Doesn't even have a care
She used to be the queen of
All the boys in town
She used to be the queen of
The ball whenever she's around
But she left the college cryin'
'Cause he just couldn't understand
Her no more now, she floats around the house
Doesn't get much anymore
She's a queen of all the ladies
But her pride begins to show
She's just another honky-tonk
She's just up in the wall
She's just kind of, kind of backwoods girl
Oh, baby, don't you understand
If it weren't for backwoods girls
Where'd be the backwoods men?
What you gonna try? What you
Gonna do to me, baby, when I go?
If you think I'll be around (Hold it now)
And you'll know it's your clown
When the snow hit's the ground I will be back
She's just a backwoods girl
That's all she is
And she makes this backwoods man awful
Awful good
