Joe Offer Origins: Lovin Emma (5) Lovin Emma 06 Jul 20


I don't think I've ever encountered another song about the smell of somebody's breath. Arlene Immerman got this from a Mike Seeger recording.

Lovin Emma, Lovin’ Emma
Would you think it unkind
For me to sit by you
And tell you my mind

        Your breath smells so sweet
        Like the dew on the vine
        Lovin’ Emma, Lovin’ Emma
        I wish you were mine

My mind is to marry
And never to part
The first time I saw you
You wounded my heart

I’ll build me a cabin
On the mountain so high
So I can sit by you
And tell you my mind

        Your breath smells so sweet
        Like the dew on the vine
        God bless you, Lovin’ Emma
        I wish you were mine
