Long ago and far away In my old common labour shoes I turned the world all which-a-way Just because you asked me to Likened to no other feelin' Simple love is simple true There's no end to what I'd do Just because you asked me to Let the world call me a fool But things are right with me and you That's all that matters and I'll do Anything you ask me to Knowin' how much I love you After all that we've been through I'd turn and walk away from you Just because you asked me to (long ago we'd never do) Let the world call me a fool Yeah, things are right with me and you That's all that matters and I'll do Anything you ask me to (Ladies and gentlemen, Billy Joe Shaver!)
