"Tall Man" lyrics

Tall Man

She was sitting on a kisstree
Growing in the ground
And everytime I passed her way
She'd throw her kisses down

Well, I know that I ain't handsome
I'm bashful as can be
I'm crazy about her kisses
But I ain't gonna climb the tree

I love the tall man
I love the tall man
Well, I ain't no small man
You're the only one for me

But I'm shy around the women
I simply disappear
Cause I ride all day
And I sleep all night
With a horse and a herd of steers

Now they say that I ain't human
Though they really don't prepare
To go to bed with my sixguns on
And I never take off my spurs

I love the tall man
I love the tall man
Don't you go call a man
Cause you're the only one for me

One night out on the prairie
The moon was shining bright
I put my arms around about her
And things were going right

And I have to tell her about Texas
I have proud of my Texas draw
The moon went down and the sun came up
And I didn't kissed her at all

I love the tall man
I love the tall man
Well, I ain't no small man
You're the only one for me

I love the tall man
I love the tall man
Don't you go call a man
You're the only one for me
Only one for me
