Lyrics
Jemima, surrender, I'm gonna give it to you
Ain't no pretender, gonna ride in my canoe
If I were a barker in a girly show
Tell you what I'd do
I'd lock the door, tear my shirt and let my river flow
Oh, oh, Sweet Jemima, won't you come out tonight?
The ground is so warm and the moon is so bright
Jemima, surrender, that's all you have to do
I'll bring over my Fender and I'll play all night for you
There's a bird on my head and his mouth won't talk
You know, he laughs just like a goose, but he looks like a hawk
Jemima, you know what I'm tryin' to say
Meet me in the front and we'll fly away
You can change your name, you can find a new walk
You can change a lock, it's all the same
You don't have to give out if you'll only give in
You can jump and shout, but can't you see, girl, that I'm bound to win
Jemima, surrender, I'm gonna give it to you
Ain't no pretender, gonna see my tattoo
I hand you my rod and you hand me that line
That's what you do, now, we ain't doin' much fishin'
Or drinkin' any wine
Sweet Jemima, if I were a king
I'd fix you up with a diamond ring
