Marty Robbins - Joli Girl Lyrics
Aw, we walked the streets of Greenwich VillageHoldin' hands like school kids in the summer August sunSmilin' at the passing strangers on their wayAnd wishin' the end would never comeThen a flower lady sold me one red rose to give youFor your chestnut hair, just to make it shineThen I held it close to me, and I whisperedJoli girl, when will you be mineThen we stepped up to the first stand on the cornerFor some coconut champagneAnd a taxi driver cussed us, 'cause a blind man got his tipAnd tapped "thank you" with his caneAnd we ducked out of the rain into a dusty little shopThat traded books and fluffy hats, rings and beadsThen I held it close to me, and I whisperedJoli girl, you're all I needAw, Joli girl, please don't ask me how long I'll be stayin'You and your dandy ship of dreams that we can shareTomorrow is just another day, I'm maybe far awayJoli girl, I might be anywhereSo let's spread our blanket in the park and hold each other closeThe night is coming on and soon we'll have to goBut remember, Joli girl, oh rememberJoli girl, I love you so
