Tessie Mae

You're 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
You're a tease and you're 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
Strangers drop to do the coochie coo
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 don't have to speak
CHORUS:
