Original lyrics

EN

Dinah, you fortress of loneliness, begging you If I'm not tired and you're not pretty, God have mercy, I'm dying here Who wouldn't want you blowing that horn all day? But I just want you blowing away Dinah, forsaken soul, my heart don't know yours anymore Ten and counting and on your heels and crying out, "Marry me, love me for real." Your somber smoke is something sweet But I don't want it here 'round me I will hold tight, that's all Until I find paradise, that's right I've come a long, long way just to see you Adelaide And it's a long, long way back home I will hold tight, that's all What's my hand dear, to hold, to have, if it won't hold you back? If I am careless and you are free, then why provide the cuff and the creed? Thought you'd said I had caught your eye But all I'm catching are callous nights Well that noon train's rolling nigh, that's all And I won't be at his mercy, that's right I've come a long, long way just to see you Adelaide And it's a long, long way back home I will hold tight, that's all
