Here's how we're going to do it. The verses above that don't dcna right, I concluded, must be parts of verses, needing the ("yes my love I'll meet you" and "meet you by and by" parts.


RAZORS IN THE AIR
Eric Schwandt version edited and rewritten by Susan O. Hinton

REFRAIN:
Get away from that window, my love and my dove.
Get away from that window, now, I say!
You must come some other night for there's bound to be a fight,
And the razors are flyin' in the air.


Come, my love, and go with me. Ah, my love, I greet thee.
Shoe your foot in Tennessee. Meet you by and by.
Someone's slipping down the hall. Hush, my love, be quiet.
Don't you make no noise at all. Meet you by and by.

Chorus

Pack a poke and bum with me. Come, my love, and meet me.
Corn is cheap in Tennessee. Meet you by and by.
Out that window, sweet and soft. Honey, never leave me.
Hurry, now, and we'll be off. Meet you by and by.

Chorus

See the moon a-shinin' down. Nightingale sing sweetly.
Seems the boys are out of town. Meet you by and by.
Ain't this here a quiet town? Just my love to greet me.
Took the mad-dogs to the pound. Meet you by and by.

Chorus

Sookie by the kitchen gate.   Best you hide discreetly.
Tiptoe by, and let her wait. Meet you by and by.
She don't know 'bout you and me. Fool that girl completely.
Thought she get a ring on me. Meet you by and by.

Chorus

Wagon comin' down the road. Horses step mos' neatly.
Turnin' with a heavy load. Meet you by and by.
Hear that blind man blow his horn. Goin' to be a riot.
All those boys are full of corn. Meet you by and by.

Chorus

Bridge:
Get away, get away, get away from my window now I say!
You must come tomorrow night, for there's bound to be a fight,
And the razors are flyin' in the air.

Hear them boys all hollerin' now. Know they love to beat me.
Ain't there goin' to be a row! Meet you by and by.


Chorus and Bridge
