Dave Alvin - East Texas Blues lyrics

Well I met a woman in East Texas She'd been left by herself alone Well I met a woman in East Texas She'd been left by herself alone And I was stranded out in the country where I was barely known She fell for me a lonesome stranger Standing in the drizzling rain She fell for me a lonesome stranger Standing in the drizzling rain She said you can stay with me baby Though I don't even know your name Just don't tell me you love me Cause to tell a lie is a sin Just don't tell me you love me Cause to tell a lie is a sin But please lay down beside me honey Cause tonight I need a friend She said I care for you daddy But I don't love no man more than myself She said I care for you daddy But I don't love no man more than myself But I got a mind to care And a heart to love just like anyone else Well the wolves howl till midnight And the wild dogs moan for days Yeah the wolves howl till midnight And the wild dogs moan for days The man in the moon looked down on us But he didn't have a thing to say
