Fiona

Lyle Lovett · Road To Ensenada [1996]

(Lovett)



Way down yonder on the bayou

There lives a little girl-o

Skin so pale

Six feet high

Skinny as a rail

Just one eye.



She's the one-eyed Fiona

She's the one-eyed Fiona

She's the one-eyed Fiona

She's the one-eyed Fiona.



Her daddy gone to heaven

Her mama won't like you

Her brother he's crazy

He just might bite you

Her sister she's pretty

But she just won't do.



She's the one-eyed Fiona

She's the one-eyed Fiona

She's the one-eyed Fiona

She's the one-eyed Fiona.



Oh you can say she gonna love you

Because you made a little voodoo

Oh but what they didn't tell you

Is it ain't up to you dude.



You better not cross her

You try to boss her

Then you better duck Mister

Here come a cup and saucer.



She's the one-eyed Fiona

She's the one-eyed Fiona

She's the one-eyed Fiona

She's the one-eyed Fiona.



So if you're going to the bayou

Man I'll tell you all I know

She's got skin so pale

She's six feet high

And she'll look right through you

With just one eye.



She's the one-eyed Fiona

She's the one-eyed Fiona

She's the one-eyed Fiona

She's the one-eyed Fiona...
