Jemima Surrender

Jemima Surrender, I'm gonna give it to you
Ain't no pretender gonna ride in my canoe
If I were a barker in a girly show
Tell ya what I'd do, I'd lock the door
Tear my shirt and let my river flow

Oh, oh, Sweet Jemima won't ya come out tonight?
The ground is so warm and the moon is so bright

Jemima Surrender, that's all you have to do
I'll bring over my Fender
And I'll play all night for you

There's a bird on my head
And his mouth won't talk (won't talk, he's in shock)
You know he laughs just like a goose
But he looks like a hawk

Jemima, you know what I'm try'n to say
Meet me in front and we'll fly away

You can change your name
You can find a new walk
You can change your lock, it's all the same
You don't have to give out
If you'll only give in
You can jump and shout
But can't you see girl, that I'm bound to win

Jemima Surrender, I'm gonna give it to you
Ain't no pretender gonna see my tattoo
I hand you my rod and you hand me that line
That's what you do, now, we ain't doing much fishin'
Or drinkin' any wine
Sweet Jemima, if I were king
I'd fix you up with a diamond ring
