Turtle Dove
She don't look at me the way she used to look
She keep her nose inside a book
She don't say nothin' that I don't expect
I throw her a smile, I get nothin' back
What ever happened to my little turtle dove?
What ever happened to our nights of love?
What ever happened ask the stars above, have you seen my little turtle dove?
That old black crow he came around
He took my turtle dove to town
With tricks and magic up his sleeve
He made my turtle dove believe
What ever happened to my little turtle dove?
What ever happened to our nights of love?
What ever happened, ask the stars above, have you seen my little turtle dove?
I made her a nest in a live oak tree
Just big enough for her and me
Lies moved in and brought mistrust
Now there's no room for all of us
What ever happened to my little turtle dove?
What ever happened to our nights of love?
What ever happened ask the stars above, have you seen my little turtle dove?
She sits in the window where the light comes in
Got somethin' jumpin' in her skin
She's always leavin' if she ain't already gone
Runnin' somewhere all night long
What ever happened to my little turtle dove?
What ever happened to our nights of love?
What ever happened, ask the stars above, have you seen my little turtle dove?
Early in the mornin' you can hear her coo
Doin' things that a woman do
Keepin' all her secrets in a paper box
Like a baby safe from a hungry fox
What ever happened to my little turtle dove?
What ever happened to our nights of love?
What ever happened, ask the stars above, have you seen my little turtle dove?
