Johnny Duncan - Oh, Maria lyrics

There's not much to when you're travelin' through Eldorado That's what the old preacher's daughter was saying one day She was a lady and I was a mean desperado I stole her gold and her heart and we both stole away When we are with, I'll be gentle, I said to Maria Gentle and tender when you surrender to me But to my surprise she was wise in the ways of amore As wise and as wicked and wild as a woman can be Oh, Maria, let me sleep a little longer I don't think I can face all that satin and lace one more night Well maybe I could and I would if I were a little younger But please let me rest for a while and then I'll be alright I'm loosing weight but Maria looks greater than ever Oh I'm such a wreck from my reckless affection and pride I'll drown in the love that I've found in the arms of Maria I need a rest, a siesta, or surely I'll die Oh, Maria, let me sleep a little longer I don't think I can face all that satin and lace one more night Well maybe I could and I would if I were a little younger But please let me rest for a while and then I'll be alright
