I'm weary from my travels
Have come a long, long way
I haven't felt a woman
Since last that I was here
Oh, won't you bring me whiskey
And run your fingers through my hair?
Oh, won't you whisper sweet words
Oh, so softly in my ears?
Oh, you're late
Oh, you're late
You're late
Can you always tell a sinner
From a sane, if he's the same
And is your thick skin growing thinner?
Have you found someone to blame?
She said, "You need not worry, child
Now is not the time"
And then she kissed me on the forehead
And turned my water into wine
My fair lady
My fair lady
Just let me hold you for a while
Just let me hold you for a while
My fair lady
My fair lady
Just let me hold you for a while
Just let me hold you for a while
Keep lookin' out your window
When the storms are raging on
Oh-oh, and before you know, girl
I'd be coming back ashore
Coming back to my hometown
Where I saw you first
I knew you were the one
I knew it all along
Some niiii_ights you just seem forever lasting
Low liiii_ights make me know that you're there
Oh
My fair lady
My fair lady
Oh, won't you lay by my side
Just let me hold you for a while
My fair lady
My fair lady
Oh, won't you lay here by my side?
Just let me hold you for a while
Won't you lay here by my side?
Just let me hold you for a while
