Crop Comes In

Sweet Marie I can hardly wait
 There's gas in the tank tonight's our fate
 Let us not part sore by the porches light
 Lets go out together into the night
 She said her friend Peter had a steady wage
 A home for two, numbers on the page
 Well I thought for a while and that's when she spoke
 The words as they started I thought a joke ...she said...
 Come see me when the crop comes in
 When the water's high, you can afford to spend
 I'm high on the cotton and my dress is fine
 I'd spend it all - if you could be mine
 I'm not the kid of woman that's bound to lose
 So don't come around with your poor boy blues
 Well she was sore from the moment she picked up
 A plastic fork and a paper cup
 But she laughed at the jokes and she sure could smile
 Something cheap as love should last a while ...she said...
 Does a diamond really talk that loud
 Does just love not make you proud?
 When you've got all you can use
 Don't bore me with your rich girl blues
 Well Sweet Marie I could hardly wait
 Back when I thought you were my fate
 A diamond told you to walk that aisle
 Even though you could have been my style
 Come see me when the crop comes in
 When the water's high, you can afford to spend
 I'm high on the cotton and my dress is fine
 ... I wouldn't spend it all - if you could be mine
