ramona davies - the heart is quicker than the eye lyrics

[intro]
dear old mother was as wise as ten folks
and she knew her way about the men folks
once she said to me
“though you’re quite a pup
daughter, dear, it’s time to wise you up”
she said, “love has always been my hoodoo
though i’ve lived, i know much less than you do”

[chorus]
mother told me
there’s no use asking why
he loves she and she loves he
the heart is quicker than the eye
mother warned mе
fair play doesn’t apply
turn your back and love goes whack
thе heart is quicker than the eye
love can k!ll you off, baby
faster than “flit”
it finds its mark
and toots, you’re it
dear sweet mother
was careful and so sly
“but my dear, you see i’m here”
the heart is quicker than the eye
[piano solo]

[verse 1]
in december 1905
mother got a little snootful
in september 1906
i was born alive and beautiful
i recall a few years later
i was taken with the measles
and my darling little mater
would sit up all night
with a good+looking guy
oh me, oh my

[verse 2]
we would travel quite a lot
but we always went to reno
she’d remarry like a shot
not for long, but how could she know?
number four was a musician
he could swing it sweet and hot
“whistler’s mother” is a classic
mother’s whistler was not
he was dropped like the rest
mother always knows best
[chorus]
you say love is blind
i say love’s c+ckeyed too
the gift of grab
obscures the view
mother begged me
“don’t drink with any guy”
so i was made on lemonade
the heart is quicker than the rye
