Ribbons 'Round My Tongue - Two Gallants
Oh lady fair
Your stranglin' hair
Ribbons 'round my tongue
I try to speak but my thoughts grow weak
From all the yarns you've spun
I heard them say
That evil may walk in beauties' shoes
Well if ever I could love myself
Then I'll stop loving you
Were you out the other night
Flirting with all my friends
I heard you told a joke or
Two with my name at the end
Come 'round home
I'm all alone
And tell me that just ain't true
Well if ever I could love myself
Then I'll stop loving you
When you're gone I'll carry on
It's never meant to last
I'd much prefer
To sit alone
And dream about the past
So I say "some how some way"
Till I believe it's true
And if ever I could love myself
Then I'll stop loving you
