the local honeys - dear woodrow lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
she took up a room atop a hardware store
where she answered the ruffians who knocked on her door
only paid visits by mosquitos and men
they’d sing out in brashness the song of the cactus wren

[chorus]
dear woodrow, do you see my plight
dear woodrow, with your afternoon delight?
dear woodrow, could you unbend enough
dear woodrow, to marry your love?
[verse 2]
the creaky old sounds of her little brass bed
occupied silence while a+restin’ her head
she knew that mean texan loved her in his way
but she didn’t know how to make his heart sway

[verse 3]
he’s been out on the plains freezin’ his ears
chasin’ comanches and a+bandits for years
she prayed he’d grow tired, restless, or old
or adventure would soon lead his horse home

[chorus]
dear woodrow, do you see my plight
dear woodrow, with your afternoon delight?
dear woodrow, could you unbend enough
dear woodrow, to marry your love?

[verse 4]
she longed for the day that he’d save his money
and refer to his new bride as “maggie” or “honey”
she’d tell her sweet ranger, “not a cent are you owed”
instead, he placed dollars under her feather pillow

[chorus]
dear woodrow, do you see my plight
dear woodrow, with your afternoon delight?
dear woodrow, could you unbend enough
dear woodrow, to marry your love?
[outro]
why do i pin hope?
why do i pine so?
my darlin’, woodrow
