I ain't got no pony, got no cadillac to drive
But with two flat feet, I'm walkin' with a slow, sweet southern stride
Carry you across the river
Gently will I lay you down
Smell the sweet honeysuckle on the vine
And we'll watch the world keep spinnin' around and 'round

If you steal away with me tonight
Well don't you know the july moon will be shinin' bright

I ain't got no money, baby, but I'll share with you my dreams
Sing a little sweet soul music, make the people wanna dance and sing
But never ever should you worry
'Cause when the first light of moon shines through
I'm gonna take my love on a southbound train
And send it right back home to you, mama

If you steal away with me tonight
You know that the july moon will be shinin' bright
Take my hand, I know I need you still
And it's surely gonna make me smile to hear you say that you will

I ain't got no pony, got no cadillac to drive
But with two flat feet I'm walkin', with a slow, sweet southern stride
Carry you across the river, gently will I lay you down
I'll make love to you in the tall grass, baby
And I'll watch the world keep spinnin' around and 'round

If you steal away with me tonight
You know that the july moon will be shinin' bright
Take my hand, I know I need you still
And it's surely gonna make me smile
Surely gonna make me smile
You're surely gonna make me smile
To hear you say, say, say that you will
Aw, baby, say that you will
Ohhh
