Barkis Is Willin’

Lyrics

[Intro] So I'm walking down the road No one else will take my load So I will [Verse 1] Everyone is laughing, baby And everyone is patting their own backs But every stone and every stick And every bone And every half-hearted But at least a half-attempted half-truth Will come back to stand with you When you're alone Alright, then [Verse 2] There is one thing I forgot to tell you There is one thing I forgot to say And if I have the guts to say it I'm afraid the place where we go to get lost Would get lost [Pre-Chorus] And so I'm walking down the road I'm crying, baby I walked all the way to Whitby People honk at me I shake my fist, sometimes give them the finger I don't know why I always lie to you [Chorus] 'Cause Barkis always tells the truth Barkis never lies Barkis is always willing Well, will you marry me awhile?
