Lyrics In My Girlish Days - Rory Block

Late at night
Tryin′ to play my hand
Through my window
Out stepped a man
I didn't know no better
In my girlish days
My mama cried, "Papa did to you"
"Oh daughter, my word is shame on you"
I didn′t know no better
In my girlish days

I flagged a train
Didn't have a dime
Trying to run away from that home of mine
But I didn't know no better
Oh, in my girlish days

I hit the highway, caught me a truck
Nineteen and seventeen
With the window was cut
But I didn′t know no better
In my girlish days

Didn′t know no better
Well, in my girlish days

All my friends are not surprised
But I had to travel before I got wise
Now I found out better
And I still got my girlish ways

(Ooh, in my girlish days)
In my girlish days, oh yeah
(Ooh, in my girlish days)
