Last Night On The Back Porch
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
I hurry, I scurry, I worry so.
And we always can be found, where there's no-one else around
If I lost her, what a blow, I love her oh-wo-oh
Yes I love her in the morning and I love her at night
I love her yes I love her when the stars are shining bright
I love her in the Springtime and I love her in the Fall
But last night on the back porch, I love her best of all
Oh I love her in the morning and I love her at night
First time that I dug this chick it was true love at first sight
I love her in the Springtime and I love her in the Fall
But last time, gave her my frat pin then I loved her best of all
Oh I love her in the Springtime and I love her in the Fall
But last night Maw went shopping and then I loved her best of all
