She called to me
Meet me at the border
Wake me up
When my papers are in order
Lord, I don't want to bring you down
No, I never meant to give you a frown
I'm just sleeping around the corner
Lord, I don't want to bring you down
No, I never meant to give you a frown
I'm just sleeping around the corner
We made sweet love
Over and over
She said, "Oh, sweet darling
I'm your little red rover"
Lord, I don't want to bring you down
No, I never meant to give you a frown
I'm just sleeping around the corner
She said to me
"I don't mean to scorn you
But I've been lying
And I've been too scared to warn you"
Lord, I don't want to bring you down
No, I never meant to give you a frown
I'm just sleeping around the corner
Lord, I don't want to bring you down
No, I never meant to give you a frown
I'm just sleeping around the corner
