SETTIN' THE WOODS ON FIRE (Hank Williams) HANK WILLIAMS (M-G-M 11318, 1952) Comb your hair and paint and powder You act proud and I'll act prouder You sing loud and I'll sing louder Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire You're my gal and I'm your fellow You will be dressed up of on yellow I'll look swell but you'll look sweller Settin' the woods on fire We'll take in all the honky-tonks Tonight we're havin' fun We'll show the folks a brand new dance... That never has been done I don't care who thinks we're silly You'll be duffy and I'll be dilly We'll order up two bowls of chile Settin' the woods on fire I'll gas up my hot-rod stoker We'll get hotter than a poker You'll be broke, but I'll be broker Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire We'll sit close to one another Up one street and down the other We will have a time, old brother, Settin' the woods on fire We'll put aside a little time To fix a flat or two My tires and tubes are doin' fine... But the air is showin' thru' You'll clap hands and I'll start howlin' We will all the jaws allowin' Tomorrow, I'll be right back ploughin' Settin' the woods on fire |
