Anytime Songtext
von Emmett Miller

Ah, Ah, Ah, Oh Lord

Emmett, you look mighty happy today
Yeah I′m a-I'm a man was feelin′ fine
Roo'min' around and you′s about to become a bridegroom
Oh, yes sir, and it′s a funny way, the way I met my future wifey

I was workin' in the grocery store and she come in
And wanted to know, she said "What is butter today?"

I said "Butter is butter today"
She said "Well I′m certainly glad to hear that
I got some here yesterday that was axle grease"
And it's a funny thing, I wanted to propose to that gal and
I couldn′t get up courage enough to go up to her house, so
I decided to telephone her and propose to her over the phone


So I phoned her up, I said "Hello, is this you, Bethesda?"
She said "Yeah"
I said "Well honey, there's something
I′ve wanted to ask you for a long time
Would you promise to be my darlin' little wife?"
And what did she say?
She said "Yeah, why well certainly, but uh, who is that?"
So I told her we gettin' married most anytime

Now I′m so sad and blue
′Bout nobody but you
Why you don't seem the same to me
I told you that I loved you
Right from the start
You told me the very same thing and
Now you try to break my little heart
If you don′t want me
Why don't you come and tell me so
I love you and I′ll say just before I go

Now anytime that you are lonely
Anytime that you are blue
Oh Lord, now, anytime you're feelin′ downhearted
I will prove to you my love is true
Now anytime you're thinking of me
That's the time I′ll think of you
Oh Lord, now, anytime you want me back again
That′s the time I'll come back to you
Oh Lord
