Wrote this about an ex. it used to have an extra verse about waiting for a train in the rain in pain, but Cameron told me it was a bit much, so I took it out.
lyrics
E A E E7
She left me all alone wishin’ that there were more fish in the sea.
A A7 E E7
She left me all alone wishin’ that there were more fish in the sea.
B7 A7 E B7
Well you know I love a’fishin’, but there ain’t no catch like me.
I met a fine lookin’ woman way down there in New Orleans.
I met a fine lookin’ woman way down there in New Orleans.
With the curves of a goddess she was fed on rice and beans.
She’s got a heart like a hammer, and it’s hangin’ right above her head.
She’s got a heart like a hammer, boy, and it’s hangin’ right above her head.
If you’re tryin’ to save her boy you gonna wind up dead.
I’ve said I’ve tried to love her, oh but love she’s just the strangest thing.
I’ve said I’ve tried to love her, oh but love she’s just the strangest thing.
She left me in California for that Ohio fling.
Chorus
