Waylon Jennings - Whistlers and Jugglers Lyrics

(Shel Silverstein)

You take the lady, I'll take the lesson
I can't say that anyone is doing me wrong
'Cause I always knew that the girl had a weakness
For whistlers and jugglers and singers of songs.

She was a child back when I first found her
The dreamer inside her was just bein' born
I knew she'd come with me 'cause she had a fever
For whistlers and jugglers and singers of songs.

Whistler will whistle her a song she can dance to
Jugglers will cheer her when she starts to cry
Singers will sing her a bed of red roses
Where she might let you lie by her side.

She'll laugh in the face of the wealthy and famous
You'll never lose her to the handsome or strong
All of your life boy watch over your shoulder
Whistlers and jusgglers and singers of songs...
