"Imogene" lyrics - ROBBIE FULKS

ROBBIE FULKS
"Imogene"

Hey now, my Imogene
Out here on your back porch I been scratchin' at your screen
Hey now, you sure smell fine
Things I'll never tell you I've been doin' to you in my mind

Maybe I'm a stone heart, maybe I'm kind
Maybe I love you, maybe I'm lyin'
I could rip your lid off and make you scream
If you would be my long-legged Imogene

Don't that old moon sail high
Clear across the meadow I hear your fiddle cry
Playin' on that "Maiden's Prayer"
Shakes me from my sleepin', makes me want to steal away from here

The man at my job's got nothing to say
He's from out the jungles of Somal-I-A
I been in the kitchen up to my knees
In jalapeno hambone and black-eyed peas

Hey now, my Imogene
Out here on your back porch with a jar of sweet Jim Beam
Hey now, it'd sure be fine
If we could lose your old man and do what I been doin' in my mind
Then you could be my long-legged Imogene
