Gin Blossoms - Slave Dealer's Daugther lyrics

I've been trying for so long Trying to forget The ports of Northern Africa and the man I met He said he had a daughter Maybe I could meet her He thought I was a trader Oh, that was how I met That slave dealer's daughter Her eyes were black her hair was raven Her skin was soft and brown Eighteen years she looked a woman I thought she'd been around She'd never met a jailbird I knew that she was lonely She offered me her body So I fell in love With that slave dealer's daughter Her father's men came after me Trying to hunt me down For three long years I've hid my face And run from town to town She never met a jailbird I knew that she was lonely She offered me her body So I fell in love With that slave dealer's daughter
