In My Girlish Days lyrics

Late hours at night, trying to play my hand
Through my window, out stepped a man
I didn`t know no better
Oh boys
In my girlish days

My mama cried, papa did, too
Oh, daughter, look what a shame on you
I didn`t know no better
Oh boys
In my girlish days

I flagged a train, didn`t have a dime
Trying to run away from that home of mine
I didn`t know no better
Oh boys
In my girlish days

I hit the highway, caught me a truck
Nineteen and seventeen, when the winter was tough
I didn`t know no better
Oh boys
In my girlish days

(spoken: Lord, play it for me now)

All of my playmates is not surprised,
I had to travel `fore I got wise
I found out better
And I still got my girlish ways
