July Moon

i ain't got no pony, got no cadillac to drive,
but with two flat feet, i'm walkin' with a slow, sweet southern stride.
carry you across the river,
gently will i lay you down,
smell the sweet honeysuckle on the vine
and we'll watch the world keep spinnin' around and 'round.

if you steal away with me tonight,
well don't you know the july moon will be shinin' bright.

i ain't got no money, baby, but i'll share with you my dreams.
sing a little sweet soul music, make the people wanna dance and sing.
but never ever should you worry,
'cause when the first light of moon shines through,
i'm gonna take my love on a southbound train
and send it right back home to you, mama.

if you steal away with me tonight,
you know that the july moon will be shinin' bright.
take my hand, i know i need you still,
and it's surely gonna make me smile to hear you say that you will.

i ain't got no pony, got no cadillac to drive,
but with two flat feet i'm walkin', with a slow, sweet southern stride.
carry you across the river, gently will i lay you down.
i'll make love to you in the tall grass, baby,
and i'll watch the world keep spinnin' around and 'round.

if you steal away with me tonight,
you know that the july moon will be shinin' bright.
take my hand, i know i need you still,
and it's surely gonna make me smile,
surely gonna make me smile,
you're surely gonna make me smile..
to hear you say.. say.. say that you will.
aw, baby, say that you will.
ohhh.
