Trying to decipher lyrics to Gid and Fate's version of "Just Give Me
The Leavings". I need some help especially with the second verse...
Thanks!
I'VE CERTAINLY HAD A HARD TIME
ALL THROUGH THIS PATH OF LIFE
ALTHOUGH I KNOW I'VE HAD MY SHARE
OF TROUBLE AND OF STRIFE
I'VE CERTAINLY HAD A CHANCE TO SEE
ALL THE THINGS I'D LIKE FOR TO SEE
SOME HOW THE GOOD THINGS ALL RUN OUT
BEFORE THEY GET TO ME
THE STRONGER ________________________________
________________________________________________
AND THE HARDER JOB IT LOOKS FOR ME
WHILE THE OTHER FOLKS GET THE (BALL)
NOW IN THE FUTURE IF THE GOOD THINGS COME ALONG MY WAY
AND JUST AS USUAL PASS ME BY I'M GENTLY GOING TO SAY
JUST GIVE ME THE LEAVINGS WHEN YOU GET THROUGH
JUST GIVE ME THE LEAVINGS THAT WILL DO
WELL MAN WANTS A LITTLE BIT HERE BELOW
HOW THAT LITTLE BIT SEEMS TO GO
WHAT I GOT FOR NOW, DON'T LOOK FOR NO MORE THAN THE LEAVINGS
LAST NIGHT I PUT MY BEST CLOTHES ON AND WENT TO SEE MY GAL
I TOOK A WATERMELON AS A PRESENT FOR MY SAL
I DREAMED ABOUT THE GOOD TIMES THAT WERE FOR ME IN STORE
JUST EATING WATERMELON AND A HUGGIN AND A KISSIN MORE AND MORE
WHEN I GOT THERE I'D THOUGHT I'D GIVE MY GAL A GREAT SURPRISE
I'D SNEAK RIGHT IN RIGHT THROUGH THE DOOR AND THERE BEFORE MY EYES
SHE WAS THERE A HUGGIN AND KISSIN MY FRIEND NED
I DROPPED MY MELON UPON THE FLOOR AND MOURNFULLY I SAID
