I'm not stamp collector
but I've got a hobby too
Bringin' home a souvenir
trinkets old and new
Feathers from a rooster fight
a whistle from a fair
I always get a souvenir to
prove that I was there
Well I've got a piece of silky thread
from bashful Mary's gown
A nugget from a stream of gold and a
red nose from a clown
A horseshoe from a rodeo
a claw from a bear
Well I always get a souven
ir to prove that I was there
I always get a souvenir everywhere I go
Well I've got some little
something from every girl I know
I pair of fuzzy bobby socks
a lock of curly hair
I always get a souvenir to prove
that I was there
[ guitar ]
Well I took a burned out piston
from a winning racer car
Well I've even got a G string from
Gene Sheppard's guitar
I've collected everything
soap to silverware
I always get a souvenir
to prove that I was there
Well now I'm not bragging when I
say with wo men I have dealt
Well you can tell I've been there
by the notches on my belt
Yes I've collected different things
from every love affair
I always get a souvenir to
prove that I was there
I've got a fine collection but
you're my pride and joy
You're the one I like the best you
make me a happy boy
To trade you for a million things
hon I wouldn't dare
Cause you and me are gonna
get me another souvenir
