She's my Eskimo baby she's my Eskimo pie
She lives south of the northpole and I know the reason why
She's my Eskimo baby and I'll love her till I die
She's my Eskimo baby she's my Eskimo pie
Crossing o'er the frozen river to a valley silled with snow
I lost all my directions and I knew not where to go
When a warm hand fell upon me and a voice said with a sigh
I would take you to my iglu Mister I won't let you die
Well she's my Eskimo baby...
And there came the day of parting and we had to say goodbye
As I crossed back o'er the river I could think I hear her cry
I know that someday I'll return I must before I die
Cause she's my Eskimo baby she's my Eskimo pie
Oh this aching breaking heart of mine is crazy over you
And I'm afraid to let you know I love you like I do
For if you knew how much I care I know what you would do
You drop me like the others and go find somebody new [ steel ]
Last night I saw you darling in the arms of someone new
And I know that you don't love him you just want to make me blue
I guess you think that hurting me will make me love you more
But someday from you darling this old heart will lock its door
Oh this aching breaking heart of mine...

I'm a wandering soul I'm lost from my Saviour
A sheep that has strayed so far from the fold
Just tarrying along in the clutch of old Satan
But I'm hoping someday you'll save my soul
Dear Lord please forgive the grief I have caused you
The thoughts of my sins that tortured my soul
Oh help me to know the joy of salvation
Help cleanse my life through and make me whole
I once had a sweetheart the fairest of maidens
She upshined all others that I'd known by far
I had a friend a big fella named Big Harlan Taylor
Harlan had a rubber tied new shiny car
All the ways of the world... [ steel ]
By the wants of a woman she fell for Big Harlan
I tried but in vain for to take my own life
Suddenly I had lost all my will to keep living
She'd lost her desire to become my young wife
All the ways of the world... [ guitar ]
I wanted revenge and we laid for Big Harlan
Then I started wondering what good would did it do
If a rubber tied new shiny car's her ambition
And I just let her had it and Big Harlan too
All the ways of the world...
If I figured them all up it could take many years

Your leaving will bring autumn sorrow
And my tears like withered leaves will fall
But spring could bring some glad tomorrow
And darling we could be happy after all [ steel ]
As it is in nature's plan no season gets the upper hand
Oh how I try to keep this fact in mind
The trees are bare the cold wind blows and by experience we should know
That winter comes but the spring is close behind
Your leaving will bring autumn sorrow...

The people are laughing and having their fun
While I sit here crying over what you have done
My pockets are empty my last drink of wine
An empty bottle of broken hearts and you're still on my mind [ piano ]
Alone and forsaken so blue I could die
I just sit here drinking till the bottle runs dry
To try and forget you I turn to the wine
An empty bottle of broken heart and you're still on my mind
**********
When my heart hurts no more that's what I'm longing for
To be free from the storm that was wolving so woe
I won't have to keep wondering what I'm living for
I won't be at your mercy when my heart hurts no more [ fiddle ]
When my heart hurts no more that's what I'm living for
At last I'll be free from your memory
I won't have to keep wondering what I'm living for
I'll be no weeping willow when my heart hurts no more
**********
Did you ever have them laugh at you and say it was a fake
The stand that you so boldly for the Lord did take
Did you ever have them mock at you and say in ways quite grim
Did you ever drink the cup of loneliness with him
Oh my friends 'tis bitter sweet while here on earthly sod
To follow in the footsteps that our dear Savior trod
To suffer with the Saviour and when the way is dark and dim
To think of the bitter cup of loneliness with him
**********
Tarnished angel from a backstreet bar
Tarnished angel I want you just as you are
Our worlds are strange and different but love they say is blind
I'll try to live in your world if you won't live in mine [ guitar ]
Tarnished angel on a backstreet bar...
