Well, I ALMOST got it....been a while...


WHY DON'T YOU HAUL OFF AND LOVE ME
As recorded by Wayne Raney on "The Real Hot Boogie Boy - The King Anthology" (1976)

1. They say a love bug will get you at the age of 43.
I'm not tellin' my age but som'in' got a-hold of me.
I'm just cravin' some lovin' in the old-fashioned way.
Honey, lend an ear and listen to all I have to say.

CHORUS: Why don't you haul off and love me one more time?
Why don't you squeeze me until I'm turnin' blind?
If you don't cuddle up and love me like I want you to do,
I'm gonna haul off and die over you.

2. Now, darlin', come a little closer; put your little hand in mine.
Let me feel your arms about me, honey; please don't change your mind,
For my lovesick heart's a-throbbin' as I hold you close to mine.
I'm bound to have a lot of lovin' waitin' for me on the line. CHORUS

3. Now I can feel your warm lips near me, hear you breathin' soft and fine.
I can feel the matrimony crawlin' up and down my spine.
I don't believe that love will hurt you, 'cause it feels so nice and kind.
It seems mighty close to heaven when your love is on the line. CHORUS
