Classic Country Lyrics: "Don't Take Her, She's All I've Got" von Johhny Paycheck

Donald Eugene Lytle verbrachte einen Grossteil
seiner Jugend in Haft-und Besserungsanstalten,
bevor er sich zunächst eine Rock'n'Roll-Karriere
unter dem Namen Donny Young aufzubauen be-
gann. Der Erfolg kam aber erst, als er sich Johnny
Paycheck nannte und auf Country setzte, eine Mu-
sik, in der er sowohl stimmlich als auch von seiner
Biographie her besser aufgehoben war. "Don't Take
Her, She's All I've Got" zählt zu den bekanntesten
seiner Hits.

Well I say friend, don't take her she's all I've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend, don't take her she's all I've got
She's everything in life I'll ever need

She is life when I wanna live
She's everything to me in life that life can give
She's my water when I need to drink
She's the first thought in my mind each time I try to think

Let me tell you now friend, don't take her she's all I've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend, don't take her she's all I've got
She's everything in life I'll ever need

She's my fingers when I want to feel
She's the only thing in life to me that's really real
She is love she's all the love I know
She could kiss the ground in the wintertime and make the 
flower grow

Let me tell you now friend, don't take her she's all I've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend, don't take her she's all I've got
She's everything in life I'll ever gonna need

Let me tell you now friend, don't take her she's all I've got
I'm beggin' to you friend, don't take her she's all I've got
I'm beggin' to you friend, don't take her she's all I've got
Let me tell you now friend
