TELL HER LIES AND FEED HER CANDY

Writer, Joe McCracken 1954  Rec. by Porter Wagoner mid '50's


(C) I MET A LITTLE GAL IN THE STATE OF ARKANSAS,

HER NAME IT WAS MI- (G7) RANDY,

I (C) WANTED HER LOVE, SO I ASKED HER PA,

HE SAID, TELL HER LIES AND FEED HER CANDY,

TELL HER LIES AND (G7) FEED HER (C) CANDY.


           CHORUS

(G7) MY, OH MY, IF THE (C) APPLE OF YOUR EYE,

DON'T (G7) THINK YOU'RE A REAL GEM- (C) DANDY,

TAKE (F) MY ADVICE AND (C) PUT IT ON ICE, BOY,

TELL HER LIES AND FEED HER CANDY,

TELL HER LIES AND (G7) FEED HER (C) CANDY.



YOU CAN TAKE HER OUT FOR THE TIME OF HER LIFE,

GIVE HER GOOD NAPOLEON BRANDY,

BUT YOU'RE NEVER GONNA MAKE THAT WOMAN YOUR WIFE,

UNLESS YOU, TELL HER LIES AND FEED HER CANDY,

TELL HER LIES AND FEED HER CANDY.



              REPEAT CHORUS


IF THE ROAD OF LOVE SEEMS ROCKY AND ROUGH,

AND IF YOUR SUGAR GETS SANDY,

YOU CAN BET YOUR BOOTS SHE'LL STRUT HER STUFF,

IF YOU'll , TELL HER LIES AND FEED HER CANDY,

TELL HER LIES AND FEED HER CANDY.


           REPEAT CHORUS
