Robin & Linda Williams - Tessie Mae lyrics

Youʼre an angel and a little sneak A sweetheart with a stubborn streak Good at following your nose Out any door that wasn't closed You're July and January Sunny bright and contrary Used to doing as you pleased Back before you sidled up to me [Chorus] Hey, Hey your straying days Are over Tessie Mae Hey, Hey sit and stay Don't turn your head away Your straying days are over Tessie Mae You're five pounds of sugar in a two pound sack You stole my heart, I don't want it back Youʼre a tease and youʼre a flirt But I don't get my feelings hurt When you go prancing up the street White socks on your little feet And wag your tail, that curlicue [Chorus] I'd like to go and see Levon And tell him that her name is wrong That Bessie girl he once knew Tessie she sure sounds like you But Levon had you pegged it seems Cause Tessie, you're a drunkards dream You mend me when I spring a leak You defend me I donʼt have to speak [Chorus]
