Ain`t leavin` your love — текст песни (Townes Van Zandt)

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
