In My Girlish Days

Late hours at night, trying to play my hand Through my window, out stepped a man I didn't know no better Oh boys In my girlish days My mama cried, papa did, too Oh, daughter, look what a shame on you I didn't know no better Oh boys In my girlish days I flagged a train, didn't have a dime Trying to run away from that home of mine I didn't know no better Oh boys In my girlish days I hit the highway, caught me a truck Nineteen seventeen, when the winter was tough I didn't know no better Oh boys In my girlish days All of my playmates is not surprised I had to travel 'fore I got wise I found out better and I still got my girlish ways
