Sweet Peony - Bobbie Gentry

I want you to meet me at my houseboat

Be sure and wear your little black rubber rain coat

Write you a letter on thin lined note paper

Hide it in the tree where the houseboat float

Pulled a pully bone and make a fat wish

Crawdad in the skillet, gonna catch a catfish

Write you a letter on thin line note paper

Hide it on the table in the catfish dish

'Cause it’s sweet peony, it’s my dream

It’s a sweet peony, is my dream

Houseboat floating down the bayou

Tried to catch a fish and now I think I’ll try you

Write you a letter on thin line note paper

In a tree, a dish, and in the bayou too

And if our eyelids are gettin' heavy

We’ll dock our houseboat on the muddy levy

Read all the letters on the thin lined note paper

Wad 'em up and eat 'em on the bayou

'Cause it’s sweet peony it’s my dream

It’s a sweet peony, it’s my dream

I want you to meet me at my houseboat

Be sure and wear your little black rubber rain coat

Write you a letter on thin lined note paper

Hide it in the tree where the houseboat float

'Cause it’s sweet peony it’s my dream

It’s a sweet peony, it’s my dream
