Jemima Surrender Songtext
von The Band

Jemima surrender
I′m gonna give it to you
Ain't no pretender
Gonna ride in my canoe
If I were a barker at a burlesque show
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Tell you what I′d do
I'd lock the door, tear my shirt
And let my river flow

Oh, Jemima, won't you come out tonight?
The ground is so warm and the moon is so bright
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na


Jemima surrender
I′m gonna give it to you
Ain′t no pretender
Gonna see my tattoo
I hand you my rod and you hand me that line
We ain't doin′ much fishin'
Or drinkin′ any wine
Sweet Jemima, if I were a king
I'd fix you up with a diamond ring

Oh, Jemima, won′t you come out tonight?
The ground is so warm and the moon is so bright
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Jemima surrender
I'm gonna give it to you
I'll bring over my Fender
And I′ll play all night for you
There′s a bird on my head and it might want to talk
He laughs just like a goose
But he looks like a hawk
Sweet Jemima, you know what I'm tryin′ to say
Meet me in the front and we'll fly away

Oh, Jemima, won′t you come out tonight?
The ground is so warm and the moon is so bright
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
