I Can't Keep The Girls Away

I Can't Keep The Girls Away
Recorded by Billy Walker


G                                                     D7
Momma’s gone and I’m alone and I can’t keep the girls away

They call me in the morning and call me at night
                        G
And all they want to do play
                                                    D7
What can I do I’m asking you please tell me what to say
                                                              G
I’m confused and I got the blues cause I can’t keep the girls away

                                                       D7
Girls girls pretty little girls why don’t you leave me alone
                                                           G
I know it’s fun to kiss everyone but I gotta have peace at home
                                   
They’re here all the time and I like it just fine
G7                       C
But all they wanna do is play
D7                                                    G
Momma’s gone and I’m alone and I can’t keep the girls away

                                                            D7
Christine Irene Lorene Josephine that’s just the names of a few
                                                               G
I need assistance and I need it fast and I sure need help from you

Now you may think I’m yeller
                                      D7
But I’m just a feller and I’m getting afraid

I think I’ll leave town where I can’t be found
                             G
Cause I can’t keep the girls away
