Don't Take The Girl

[00:07.95] Hm-mm
[00:14.22] Johnny's daddy was takin' him fishin' when he was eight years old
[00:23.62] A little girl came through the front gate holdin' a fishin' pole
[00:33.42] His dad looked down and smiled, said, "We can't leave her behind"
[00:42.49] "Son, I know you don't want her to go"
[00:46.47] "But someday, you'll change your mind"
[00:50.06] And Johnny said
[00:52.05] "Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson
[00:57.11] Take my best friend, Bo
[01:01.65] Take anybody that you want as long as she don't go
[01:08.51] Take any boy in the world
[01:14.59] Daddy, please, don't take the girl"
[01:20.91]
[01:25.67] Same old boy, same sweet girl
[01:29.98] Ten years down the road
[01:34.74] He held her tight and kissed her lips in front of the picture show
[01:44.48] Stranger came and pulled a gun
[01:49.22] Grabbed her by the arm
[01:53.75] Said, "If you do what I tell you to, there won't be any harm"
[02:01.46] And Johnny said
[02:03.52] "Take my money, take my wallet
[02:08.25] Take my credit cards
[02:13.06] Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
[02:18.03] Here's the key to my car
[02:20.38] Mister, give it a whirl
[02:26.04] But, please, don't take the girl", mm
[02:38.07]
[02:51.30] Same old boy, same sweet girl
[02:55.82] Five years down the road
[03:00.24] There's gonna be a little one, and she says, "It's time to go"
[03:09.88] Doctor says, "The baby's fine, but you'll have to leave"
[03:19.26] 'Cause his mama's fadin' fast", and Johnny hit his knees
[03:29.13] And there he prayed
[03:31.33] "Take the very breath you gave me
[03:36.28] Take the heart from my chest
[03:40.96] I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me
[03:45.66] Make this my last request
[03:48.07] Take me out of this world
[03:53.82] God, please, don't take the girl"
