Porter Wagoner - Tell Her Lies (And Feed Her Candy) Lyrics

I met a little girl in the state of Arkansas
Her name it was Mirandy
I wanted her love, a wife to love
Tell her lies and feed her candy
Tell her lies and feed her candy.

My, oh my, if the apple of your eye
Don't think it hasn't been dandy
Take my advice and put it on ice
Tell her lies and feed her candy
Tell her lies and feed her candy.

--- Instrumental ---

You can take her out to the time of her life
Give her good Napolean Brandy
But you're never gonna make that woman your wife
Unless you tell her lies and feed her candy
Tell her lies and feed her candy.

My oh my, if the apple of your eye
Don't think it hasn't been dandy
Take my advice and put it on ice
Tell her lies and feed her candy
Tell her lies and feed her candy.

--- Instrumental ---

If the road of love seems rocky and rough
And if your sugar gets sandy
You can bet your boots it's better stuff
Unless you tell her lies and feed her candy
Tell her lies and feed her candy.

My oh my, it's apple of your eye
Don't think it hasn't been dandy
Take my advice and put it on ice
Tell her lies and feed her candy
Tell her lies and feed her candy.

Tell her lies and feed her candy
Tell her lies and feed her candy...
