Jemima Surrender lyrics
Songwriters: Helm, Levon; Robertson, Robbie;

Jemima surrender, I m gonna give it to you
Ain t no pretender, gonna ride in my canoe
If I were a barker in a girly show
Tell ya what I d do
I d lock the door, tear my shirt, and let my river flow
Oh, oh, sweet Jemima won t you come out tonight?
The ground is so warm and the moon is so bright

Jemima surrender, that s all ya have to do
I ll bring over my fender, and I ll play all night for you
There s a bird on my head and his mouth won t talk
You know he laughs just like a goose
But looks like a hawk
Jemima, you know what I m tryin to say
Meet me in front and we ll fly away

You can change your name
You can find a new walk
You can change a lock, it s all the same
You don t have to give out
If you ll only give in
You can jump and shout
But can t you see girl, that I m bound to win

Jemima surrender, I m gonna give it to you
Ain t no pretender, gonna see my tattoo
I hand you my rod and you hand me that line
That s what you do
And now, we ain t doin much fishin , or drinkin any wine
Sweet Jemima, if I were king
I d fix you up with a diamond ring
