James Gang – Alexis

James Gang – Alexis Lyrics

Artist: James Gang
Song: Alexis

Alexis, thank you for a pleasant southern day
Spent on the levy throwin’ pennies in the bay
And talkin ’bout the rich folks
On the big boats that pass that way

You were just a young girl
I just could not stay
Alexis, I can’t remember how we met back then
Was on my way to Atlanta, now I’m on that road again

Not really poor, had money just not to spend
You were just a young girl, and I was in need of a friend
Alexis, you always used to talk about
Leavin your hometown, headin on south

Maybe down to New Orleans
And you wanted me to help you out
But you were just a young girl
And I was just a hobo… that had my doubts

Alexis, I did not want to… want to leave you there
Sometimes this life we lead is so unfair
I wanted to take you with me
But I did not dare

You were just a young girl and I could not pay your fare
Alexis, you always used to talk about
Leavin your hometown, headin on south
Maybe down to New Orleans

And you wanted me to help you out
But you were just a young girl
And I was just a hobo… that had my doubts
I had my doubts
