Tall Men Songtext
von Rose Maddox

I wish I was a kiss tree a-growin′ in the ground
And every time my sweetie passed by I'd throw some kisses down
He′s big and tall and handsome but bashful as can be
I know he wants them kisses of mine but he won't climb the tree


I love a tall man he ain't a small man
My man is all man and the only one for me
He shies away from women he simply disappears
Well he rides all day and he sleeps all
Night with a horse and a herd of steers
That cowpoke he ain′t human they say that he prefers
To go to bed with his six-guns on and never take off his spurs
But I love a tall man... he ain′t a small man
My man is all man and the only one for me

One night out on the prairie the moon was shining bright
He put his arms around about me and things were a-goin' right
He talked and talked of Texas and drawled his Texas drawl
Well the moon went down and the sun
Came up and he never kissed me at all

But I love a tall man... he ain′t a small man
My man is all man and the only one for me

I wish I was a kiss tree out on the lone prairie
And every time my sweetie passed by he'd steal a kiss from me
And if he wants more kisses here′s all he has to know
Just plant me down in a Texas town and watch them kisses grow


I love a tall man... he ain't a small man
My man is all man and the only one for me
