lirik lagu three quarters – jane gillman
i come from above the border
at the foot of the mountains
where the prairie begins
where the sweet summertime
is barely a memory
and a fur coat kept me
from the northern winds
we never worked for our money
all around that country
our name, it was known
so when i fell in love
with a wild, ramblin’ man
i had to choose
between him and our home
if had a dollar, i’d go to some bar
swallow my sorrows, forget all my faults
but the change in my pocket
won’t get me that far
three quarters ain’t good for nothin’
but a waltz
my baby used to take me dancin’
in south louisiana
where his family was from
the smell of the bayou
would rise all around us
while the fiddles kept playin’
’til the hot mornin’ sun
he worked out on the gulf waters
all the way from new orleans
down to veracruz
one day the fishin’ boat
came back without him
they say the señoritas are hard to refuse
if had a dollar, i’d go to some bar
swallow my sorrows, forget all my faults
but the change in my pocket
won’t get me that far
three quarters ain’t good for nothin’
but a waltz
my daddy played the grand piano
i used to stand by the chair
and watch the ripplin’ keys
sometimes when i’m drivin’
down a long, lonesome highway
an old tune is stirred up in my memories
