Dear Woodrow Lyrics by The Local Honeys


The Local Honeys Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She took up a room atop a hardware store
Where she answered the ruffians who knocked on her door
Only paid visits by mosquitos and men
They'd sing out in brashness the song of the Cactus Wren

[Chorus]
Dear Woodrow, do you see my plight
Dear Woodrow, with your afternoon delight?
Dear Woodrow, could you unbend enough
Dear Woodrow, to marry your love?
[Verse 2]
The creaky old sounds of her little brass bed
Occupied silence while a-restin' her head
She knew that mean Texan loved her in his way
But she didn't know how to make his heart sway

[Verse 3]
He's been out on The Plains freezin' his ears
Chasin' Comanches and a-bandits for years
She prayed he'd grow tired, restless, or old
Or adventure would soon lead his horse home

[Chorus]
Dear Woodrow, do you see my plight
Dear Woodrow, with your afternoon delight?
Dear Woodrow, could you unbend enough
Dear Woodrow, to marry your love?

[Verse 4]
She longed for the day that he'd save his money
And refer to his new bride as "Maggie" or "honey"
She'd tell her sweet Ranger, "Not a cent are you owed"
Instead, he placed dollars under her feather pillow

[Chorus]
Dear Woodrow, do you see my plight
Dear Woodrow, with your afternoon delight?
Dear Woodrow, could you unbend enough
Dear Woodrow, to marry your love?
[Outro]
Why do I pin hope?
Why do I pine so?
My darlin', Woodrow
