OH! NEIL
(Gerry Goffin)


Carole King - 1958





Oh! Neil
I've loved you for so long
I never dreamed you'd put me in a song

I'm Carol
And I live in Tennessee
I never hoped that you'd remember me

Darling, when I saw you at the square dance
My pulse skipped a beat
My heart felt so heavy
Like I had too much to eat

Then you took me walkin' in the moonlight
It was, oh, so sublime
I had too much molasses
And your lips stuck to mine

Oh! Neil
I'd even give up a month's supply of chewin' tabacky
Just to be known as Mrs. Neil Sedacky

My Grandpappy, he don't like your records
He said if I play them, I will surely die

Lookout, I see him comin' with his shotgun
There's nothing left to do
Oh! Neil 
I'll surely die for you

(I told that gal not to play them daggone Neil Sedacky records!)


**Answer song to "Oh! Carol, written by Sedaka & Greenfield.
