Galveston lyrics

I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover you'll know who I am by the song that I sing

I'll ease at your table and I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what tomorrow shall bring

Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine

I'll taste your strawberrys and I'll drink your sweet wine

And a million tomorrows shall all pass away here I forget all the joy that is mine today

Friends are never earned they're a gift from the loving God

And they're precious beyond human evaluation

But you dare not take them for granted or they'll lift away like a smoke

And the warmth of their caring will vanish into the chill of the endless nights
Most of my friends are unknowns they probably won't even rate an obituary

Unless they live and die in a small town

Oh what a woman she treats me uncommonly good yeah she does

My my woman she treats me like my woman should yeah she does

Well she's good as a woman can be anything to satisfy me

Yes oh what a woman she treats me uncommonly good
Well she cleans my house she sews my britches scratches my back everytime it itches
