Gertie Rode the St. Charles Line
Hopped off on Delachaise
Walked Towards the River
Just To Pa** the Time Away
Willie Saw Her Coming
And He Dusted Off His Jeans
Had His Speech All Ready
When She Got To Magazine
Willie Started Talking
As She Turned To Run Away
He Stood His Ground
And Made Her Hear
The Things He Had To Say
Gertie Looked Right Through Him
Just As Strong As She Could Be
But She Almost Started Crying
When He Got Down On One Knee
I Can Feel Love
I Can See Love
I Don't Speak Love
I Sure Need Your Love
Willie Said Now Honey
I Know I've been A Fool
I'm Distant and I'm Arrogant
And Stubborn As a Mule
I Want To Be a Better Man
And Take Good Care Of You
If You Could Find It in Your Heart
To Help Us See This Through
I Can Feel Love
I Can See Love
I Don't Speak Love
I Sure Need Your Love
What A Price I'll Pay
To Spend My Life This Way
I Can't Take This Pain
When Every Heartbeat Calls Your Name
Gertie Looked Him in the Eye
And Said Boy You Are a Mess
Don't Try To Find an Eloquence
You Never Can Posses
Willie Held Her in His Arms
And Whispered In Her Ear
I Just Need To Learn to Say the Words
You Long To Hear
