By townes van zandt



Mister gator he's a-glidin' down the bayou

Mister buzzard he's a-slidin' through the air

Mister turtle be a-hittin' the highway

I ain't goin' nowhere





I ain't leavin you love, babe

I ain't leavin you love, babe

Not for heaven above, babe

I ain't leavin you love, babe





The poor man got him an airplane

Tryin to cruise across the traffic jam

The rich man got him a chevrolet

I'm stayin' right where i am





Now hannibal he climbed the mountains

Cleopatra danced down the nile

Lucky lindy made it all the way to gay paris

I'm stayin right here awhile
