I met a pretty girl the next
Running like a river, thin and long
she looked mighty well depressed
So I asked this pretty lady what was wrong
She said, "all my life I tried
I've tried to spit and chew
But I ain't no good at thievin'
So I might as well be leavin'
I think I'm off to go and get a job".
Don't be so quick to leave
Now see, I'll be quick to call it
You can practice on my wallet
And that way if you're caught,
A pretty face like yours don't come for free
Well, then you can take my money
Oh, darlin' keep my gun and just rob me
Yeah, just rob Sean Watkins
To see her with my gun was a relief
I said, "honey, you got attributes
Like lace and lips and high-heeled boots
But dearie, you're just no good
"mister, how do you know that I'm failin'?
Yeah, so I looked into her eye
You're pointing that there gun
"Oh, you're no good at crookin'
But you're mighty fine at lookin'".
keep my gun and just rob me!
I'm pretty sure they're pretty
They'll make you scream like smoke!
And then they'll rob you broke!
So, my pretty thief and I started a family
My outlaw's been givin' me in-laws
Oh, Oh, she kept her thievin' art
And sure as rain, she stole my heart
She tells me it's all for a worthy cause
Deep down my darlin' is a thief
Oh, she may do the dishes
But I pay her for my kisses
I know it's not malicious
She's just in the thievin' business
She calls herself my misses
But she's got me by the britches
I say honey, keep my gun an d just rob me!
