Tim-Tayshun (Temptation) Lyrics

toss one on the bow
and here we go!

oh, tell me, will ya, darlin'
why you look so bad tonight?
they's bags 'round your eyeballs
which is red instead of white!

well, it's-a-this-a-way:
you came when I was alone
shucks, I shoulda knowed
that you was tim tayshun!

you smiled and led-a me on
my heart is plum gone
cuz you was tim tayshun!

it'd be thrillin'
iffin you're willin'
but iffin it never can be
then pity for me
for you was too bored to be kissed
I couldn't resist
cuz you was temptation
and I was your'n!

yes, as the serpent tempted adam
as the apple tempted eve
as the mudhole tempts a muh-skeeter, darlin'
that's how you're temptin' me!

yeah, and as corn-liquor tempts a drunkard
as oregon tempts the bee
as a willow tree tempts the caterpillar, darlin'
that's how you're temptin' me!

you came when I was alone
shucks, I shoulda knowed
that you was tim tayshun!
you smiled and led-a me on
my heart is plum gone
cuz you was tim tayshun!

it'd be thrillin'
iffin you're willin'
but iffin it never can be
then pity for me
cause you was too bored to be kissed
I couldn't resist
cuz you was temptation
and I was your'n!

here is my heart, take it away!
yes, take it away
I say that we will never never never part!
I'm just a slave, just a dad-burn slave!
I'm-a goin' with you
cuz you're temptation
and I'm a red hot flame (HOT CINDERS!}
for you!
