Honey, You're a Keeper

Pregnant Lyrics

Honey, You're a Keeper

Honey, you're a keeper

You clean up so well

You sing out so clearly

Like an old dinner bell.

I'm a slow walking drifter

But I'll sit a spell

And spin you a yarn

I've a story to tell.

Life can be lonely

Life can be spare

Living without

A love you can share.

I've had my chances

But they slipped away

So I took to the road

I'm traveling today

I'm just a bummer

Peddling wares

In the center of towns

I gather stares.

Then I set out to charm them

Like a showman at fairs

Who plays the accordian

For his dancing bears

Now, I notice you're single

I'll advance you a guess

You were once married

Maybe not to the best.

So you stand on your pride

And look what you've got.

A shed for your chickens

And a cast iron pot.

Life can be lonely

Life can be spare

Living without

A love you can share.

Its fifteen long miles

On the road back to town.

If I can get you to smile

I might stick around.
