Paddlin' Madelin' Home
|
Harry Woods (1925) |
I love a girl named Madelin', I know she loves me, too
For ev'ry night the moon is bright, She rides in my canoe.
At midnight on the river, I heard her father call
But she don't care and I don't care if we get back at all:
'Cause when I'm
Paddlin' Madelin' Home
Gee! When I'm
Paddlin' Madelin' Home
First I drift with
the tide, Then pull for the shore
I hug her and kiss
her and paddle some more
Then I keep
Paddlin' Madelin' Home
Until I find a
good spot where we're alone.
Oh! she never says
'no', So I kiss her and go
Paddlin' Madelin'
Sweet, sweet Madelin'
Paddlin' Madelin'
Home.
The moon comes up at six o'clock, and I come up at eight.
She's always waitin' for my call and meets me at the gate
I've petted in the parlor, and hugged her in the hall
But when she's out in my canoe I love her best of all:
'Cause when
I'm Paddlin' Madelin' Home
Gee! When I'm
Paddlin' Madelin' Home
First I kiss her a
while, and when I get through
I paddle for one
mile and drift back for two
Then I keep
Paddlin' Madelin' Home
Until I find a
good spot where we're alone.
Oh! if she'd only
say "Throw your paddles away"
Paddlin' Madelin'
Sweet, sweet Madelin'
Paddlin' Madelin'
Home.
