ONCE AGAIN BABY
(Kenny Biggs)


Kenny Roberts - 1966





I've walked down this aisle before
In fact I've done it twice
The first time was for money
The second time for rice
I thought I'd never marry you
I'd keep you for a friend
But the I fell head over heels
Here I go again

And I'll try once again, baby
I'll try it one more time
But if you ever leave me
I'll surely lose my mind

My first love really cared for me
But she found out too late
When the choice was love or fortune
She didn't even rate
And when she learned I slipped around
It broke her heart in two
And when she cut my money down
Knew that we were through

And I'll try once again, baby
I'll try it one more time
But if you ever leave me
I'll surely lose my mind

The second time was better
At least I thought so then
I had the sweetest baby
She was the living end
But then she started foolin' round
Was out most ev'ry night
And I just couldn't hold her down
Tried with all my might

And I'll try once again, baby
I'll try it one more time
But if you ever leave me
I'll surely lose my mind
