Jemima Surrender

Jemima surrender, I'm gonna give it to you

Ain't no pretender, gonna ride in my canoe

If I were a barker in a girly show

Tell ya what I'd do

I'd lock the door, tear my shirt, and let my river flow

Oh, oh, sweet Jemima won't you come out tonight?

The ground is so warm and the moon is so bright

Jemima surrender, that's all ya have to do

I'll bring over my fender, and I'll play all night for you

There's a bird on my head and his mouth won't talk

You know he laughs just like a goose

But looks like a hawk

Jemima, you know what I'm tryin' to say

Meet me in front and we'll fly away

You can change your name

You can find a new walk

You can change a lock, it's all the same

You don't have to give out

If you'll only give in

You can jump and shout

But can't you see girl, that I'm bound to win

Jemima surrender, I'm gonna give it to you

Ain't no pretender, gonna see my tattoo

I hand you my rod and you hand me that line

That's what you do

And now, we ain't doin' much fishin', or drinkin' any wine

Sweet Jemima, if I were king

I'd fix you up with a diamond ring
