Hurray for the Riff Raff Riley Lyrics Hurray For The Riff Raff lyrics

Riley oh Riley
lend me your hand
walk with me softly to the promise land
well i love you riley but you gotta understand
it's so damn painful to love a dishonest man

I ride all morning and I ride all day
just to catch you riley in other woman's place
and I climb the porch steps knock three times and back away
when the one who answers stares deep into my face

Her hair is auburn
skin gold from the sun
she stands in the doorway and she calls your name to come
now wait like the reaper in my cloak of black
she whispers beggin please don't make him go back

Riley oh Riley

what could make love stay
you can't look at me but you can turn away
no you can

Riley oh Riley
on my journey home
I cried a river and soaked it to the bone
Riley oh Riley
my tears they return
and you and I all go all together we didn't dry

Riley oh Riley
lend me your hand
walk with me softly to the promise land
