The Gratef

Walk me out in the morning dew my honey,
Walk me out in the morning dew today.
I can't walk you out in the morning dew my honey,
I can't walk you out in the morning dew today.

I thought i heard a baby cry this morning,
I thought i heard a baby cry this today.
You didn't hear no baby cry this morning,
You didn't hear no baby cry today.

Where have all the people gone my honey,
Where have all the people gone today.
There's no need for you to be worrying about all those people,
You never see those people anyway.

I thought i heard a young man morn this morning,
I thought i heard a young man morn today.
I thought i heard a young man morn this morning,
I can't walk you out in the morning dew today.

Walk me out in the morning dew my honey,
Walk me out in the morning dew today.
I'll walk you out in the morning dew my honey,
I guess it doesn't really matter anyway,
I guess it doesn't matter anyway,
I guess it doesn't matter anyway,
Guess it doesn't matter anyway.

I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
And my number one occupation is stealing women from their men

If you're down in memphis, you best stop down minglewood
When i take a walk down there, all the women sure look good

If you can't believe me, it'll make it hard to believe in you
Cause we all need each other, well you know it's true

The judge decreed it, the clerk he wrote it.

Some got six month some got one solid.
Some got one solid year indeed-e
Some got six month some got one solid.
But me and my buddies all got lifetime here

I wrote a letter i mailed in the air, mailed it on the air indeed-e
I wrote a letter i mailed in the air.
You may know by that i've got a friend somewhere
