You Can Have Him [Her] Songtext

von Misty River

WELL, THE MAN I LOVE HE, UP AND LEFT ME
HE RAN AWAY WITH MY BEST FRIEND
COMES HOME AT NIGHT JUST FOR ONE HOUR
(Gets up to tempo) WHEN DAYLIGHT COMES HE'S GONE AGAIN.

(Instruments join)
WELL, YOU CAN HAVE HIM,
I DON'T WANT HIM
HE DIDN'T LOVE ME ANYWAY.
HE ONLY WANTED SOMEONE TO PLAY WITH
BUT ALL I WANTED WAS A LOVE TO STAY.

(High Register) Yeah, IF YOU GET THE, THE WRONG THE FELLA
THERE'S ONLY ONE THING THAT YOU CAN DO
JUST DIG A HOLE AND JUMP RIGHT IN
AND PULL THE GROUND UP OVER YOU

WELL, YOU CAN HAVE HIM, (Harmony w/ lead)
I DON'T WANT HIM (Harmony w/lead)
HE DIDN'T LOVE ME ANYWAY (Harmony w/lead)
HE ONLY WANTED SOMEONE TO PLAY WITH
BUT ALL I WANTED
WAS A LOVE TO STAY (Harmony w/ lead)

INSTRUMENTAL: fiddle & accordion

(High Register) LIFE WITHOUT HIM IS MIGHTY EMPTY
BUT CONFESSION IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL
I'D RATHER HAVE LOVE, THAT I CAN CLING TO
THAN HAVE THE WORLD AND ALL OF ITS GOLD

(Harmony vocals echo lead)
(Harmony vocals echo lead) to Key Change B
(Harmony vocals echo lead)
(Lead vocal echoes harmonies)
(Harmony vocals echo lead to fade . . .)
