Rose Maddox - Tall Man lyrics

I wish I was a kisstree a growing in the ground

And everytime my sweet pass by I'd throw some kisses down

He's big and tall and handsome but bashful as can be

I know he wants them kisses of mine but he won't climb the tree

I love a tall man he ain't a small man my man is all man and the only one for me

[ guitar ]

He shys away from women he simply disappears

Well he rides all day and he sleeps all night with a horse and a herd of steers

That cowpoke he ain't human they say that he prepares

To go to be with the sixgun on and never take off his spurs

But I love a tall man he ain't a small man my man is all man and the only one for me

[ guitar ]

One night out on the prairie the moon was shining bright

He put his arms around about me and things were going right

He talk and talk of Texas and drawed his Texas draw

When the moon went down and the sun came up nobody kissed me at all

But I love a tall man he ain't a small man my man is all man and the only one for me

[ guitar ]

I wish I was a kisstree out on the lone prairie

And everytime my sweet pass by he'd steal a kiss from me

And if he weants more kisses here's all he has t know

Just cut me down and in a Texas town and watch them kisses grow

I love a tall man he ain't a small man my man is all man and the only one for me
