Tell Her Lies And Feed Her Candy

Porter Wagoner · Thin Man From the West Plains (Bear Family) [1993]

I met a little girl in the state of Arkansas

Her name it was Mirandy

I wanted her love, a wife to love

Tell her lies and feed her candy

Tell her lies and feed her candy.



My, oh my, if the apple of your eye

Don't think it hasn't been dandy

Take my advice and put it on ice

Tell her lies and feed her candy

Tell her lies and feed her candy.



--- Instrumental ---



You can take her out to the time of her life

Give her good Napolean Brandy

But you're never gonna make that woman your wife

Unless you tell her lies and feed her candy

Tell her lies and feed her candy.



My oh my, if the apple of your eye

Don't think it hasn't been dandy

Take my advice and put it on ice

Tell her lies and feed her candy

Tell her lies and feed her candy.



--- Instrumental ---



If the road of love seems rocky and rough

And if your sugar gets sandy

You can bet your boots it's better stuff

Unless you tell her lies and feed her candy

Tell her lies and feed her candy.



My oh my, it's apple of your eye

Don't think it hasn't been dandy

Take my advice and put it on ice

Tell her lies and feed her candy

Tell her lies and feed her candy.



Tell her lies and feed her candy

Tell her lies and feed her candy...
