My Heart Won't Wander Very Far From You

(Arnette Cotter - Buddy Carvathe)



Well, honey don't you worry

I don't need no barroom queens.

Well, I admit she sure knows

How to fill a pair of jeans.

And I'll admit now darlin'

She sure is showing me her stuff,

But honey, it ain't nearly enough.



Chorus:

'Cause I ain't never seen her

Patch a pair of ragged britches,

Stretch a paycheck till it reaches,

Scratch my back right where it itches.

And I ain't never seen that and honey, till I do

My heart won't wander very far from you.



Now honey, you know I honor

All the hard times we've been through.

I never could've made it

With anyone but you.

And I think I know when

A lady is really, really tough,

But she don't show me nearly enough.



Chorus:

'Cause I ain't never seen her

Stay up all night with a baby,

Calm me down when I get crazy,

Fix me grits and red-hot gravy.

I ain't never seen that and honey, till I do

My heart won't wander very far from you.



--- Instrumental ---



No, I ain't never seen her

Make a six-room house a castle,

Teach the young one how to wrestle,

Straighten out my fishin' tackle.

And I ain't never seen that

And honey, till I do

My heart won't wander very far from you.



No, I ain't never seen that

And honey, till I do

My heart won't wander very far from you...
