Lyrics In My Girlish Days - Rory Block

Late at night
Trying 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 too
Oh daughter
Look what a shame on you
I didn't know no better
In my girlish days
I flagged a train
Didn't have a dime
Tryin' 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
When the winter was tough
But I didn't know no better
In my girlish days
I didn't know no better
Well in my girlish days
Oh my friends
I'm not surprised
But I had to travel
Before I got wise
And I found out better
And I still got my girlish ways
In my girlish days
In my girlish days, oh yeah
In my girlish days
