Temptation (Tim-Tayshun) (1949 Version)

Toss one on the bow and here we go

Oh tell me will ya darling

Why you look so bad tonight

They's bags 'round your eyeballs

Which is red instead of white

Well it's a this a way

You came when I was alone

Shucks I shoulda knowed

That you was tim tayshun

You smiled and led a me on

My heart is plum gone

Cuz you was tim tayshun

It'd be thrilling

Iffin you're willing

But iffin it never can be

Then pity for me

For you was too bored to be kissed

I couldn't resist

Cuz you was temptation

And I was your'n

Yes as the serpent tempted adam

As the apple tempted eve

As the mudhole tempts a muh skeeter darling

That's how you're tempting me

Yeah and as corn liquor tempts a drunkard

As oregon tempts the bee

As a willow tree tempts the caterpillar darling

That's how you're tempting me

You came when I was alone

Shucks I shoulda knowed

That you was tim tayshun

You smiled and led a me on

My heart is plum gone

Cuz you was tim tayshun

It'd be thrilling

Iffin you're willing

But iffin it never can be

Then pity for me

Cause you was too bored to be kissed

I couldn't resist

Cuz you was temptation

And I was your'n

Here is my heart take it away

Yes take it away

I say that we will never never never part

I'm just a slave just a dad burn slave

I'm a going with you

Cuz you're temptation

And I'm a red hot flame hot cinders

For you
