Bandage my chin

Bandage My Chin (C. Smith)



Well I saw her at sunrise at the edge of town

I was calling her name but she never turned 'round

Well my darling rode off on her pony at dawn

I never felt so good for doing so wrong



I was drinking all night Tanqueray Gin

I was doing alright 'til the floor hit my chin

And when I got home she was already gone

I never felt so good for doing so wrong



A young woman in love is easy to please

But a drunken old fool just ain't what that girl needs

I never felt so good for doing so wrong

But I'll find a woman that is twice as strong

No lectures required just please bandage my chin

And I'll flood out the pain with Tanqueray Gin

I never felt so good for doing so wrong



Well I sent her to freedom I sent her to hope

I know that my love was a noose on a rope

I tied each of those knots with a bottle in hand

Maybe one day she'll understand



Chorus
