Lyric Ain t leavin your love

by Townes Van Zandt

Mister Gator he s a-glidin down the bayou
Mister Buzzard he s a-slidin through the air
Mister Turtle be a-hittin the highway
I ain t goin nowhere


I ain t leavin you love, babe
I ain t leavin you love, babe
Not for heaven above, babe
I ain t leavin you love, babe


The poor man got him an airplane
tryin to cruise across the traffic jam
the rich man got him a Chevrolet
I m stayin right where I am


Now Hannibal he climbed the mountains
Cleopatra danced down the Nile
Lucky Lindy made it all the way to gay Paris
I m stayin right here awhile
