Cinderella Songtext
von Brother Phelps

Last December I met a girl
And she took a likin′ to me
Said she loved me
But she didn't know the meaning of the word

She imagined love to be grand
Me holdin′ her hand
And whisperin' sweet things
And cooing softly like a songbird

Then one mornin' she came to me
With a tear in her eye
And a sigh on her breath
And Lord, she said, "Honey, I′m heavy with child"


And I said, "Hey girl, can′t you see
That I'm breakin′ my back
Just tryin' to keep my head above water
And it′s turnin' me wild"
Cinderella, can′t you see
I don't want your company
You better leave this mornin', leave today
Take your love and your child away

In a rockin′ chair on the front porch
And I′m thinkin' about all the things
I did as a young man
Now that I′m old

I remember her and the boy
Did he have all the toys and the joys
That a young man should have
Before he gets too old?

Cinderella, couldn't you see
I didn′t want your company
You shoulda left that mornin', left that day
Took your love and your child away
