Dolly
Love, look in my window
Love, knock on my door
It's years since you've called on me
How I would love hearing your laughter once more
So if you should ever be in the neighborhood
Let's talk about old times
Love, pull up a chair
How I miss your friendly smile
Love, look in my window
Love, knock on my door
Oh, love, come in and stay awhile
Oh, Ephraim, let me go!
It's been long enough, Ephraim
Every evening for all these years,
I've put out the cat
I've locked the door
I even made myself a little rum toddy
And before I went to bed, I said a prayer,
Thanking God that I was independent
That no one else's life was mixed up with mine
But Ephraim,
I need someone else's life mixed up with mine
So if you should ever be in the neighborhood,
Let's talk about old times
Love, pull up a chair,
How I miss your friendly smile
Love, look in my window
Love, knock on my door
Oh, love, come in and stay awhile
Oh, Ephraim, let me go!
It's been long enough, Ephraim
