Sweet on her – song, lyrics, vocals – Donna Slocumb - October 2021
C
If you’re sweet to her she’ll give you kisses
The likes of which you’ve never known
But if you ask her to be your missus
You’ll be alone and she’ll be gone long gone

V
You can’t help but fall in love with her
She is sunshine breaking through the clouds above
She is illuminating, and everything you’re dreaming of

C
And if you’re sweet to her she’ll give you kisses
The likes of which you’ve never known
But if you ask her to be your missus
You’ll be alone and she’ll be gone long gone

V
If you don’t pursue her, she may come to you
But she will only stay awhile
When you can accept the fact that she belongs to all of us
She will always leave you with a smile
Yes she is the river, and she calls to you
In evening and in early morn
Yes she loves you as much as you love her
But where she’s going, she cannot bring you along

C
But if you’re sweet to her she’ll give you kisses
The likes of which you’ve never known
But if you ask her to be your missus
You’ll be alone and she’ll be gone long gone
You’ll be alone and she’ll be gone long gone
You’ll be alone and she’ll be gone long gone
