Subject: Lyr Add: GIVE HIM ONE MORE AS HE GOES
The Carter's 1940 song "Give Him One More as He Goes" comes from Ike Brown's "I'll give you One More as you go" in 1884. It was recorded as "My Sweetheart is A Sly Little Miss" by Walter Smilth in 1930.
GIVE HIM ONE MORE AS HE GOES- Carter Family
My sweetheart is a shy little miss And one I fondly adore And when you ask her for a kiss She'll give you just one and no more
She'll give you just one and no more She'll give you just one and no more And when you ask her for a kiss She'll give you just one and no more
Her dad was feelin old man He always had a feelin for me I can tell you when this feelin began When his daughter I first went to see
I was bidding my sweetheart good night In the usual manner you know When a voice from the house said sic him touse And give him one more as he goes
And give him one more as he goes And give him one more as he goes When a voice from the house said sic him touse And give him one more as he goes
It was over the garden wall In a manner I'll tell you not slow He exclaimed with a swear and his foot smote the air And I'll give him one more as he goes
And I'll give him one more as he goes And I'll give him one more as he goes He exclaimed with a swear and his foot smote the air And I'll give him one more as he goes
