Townes Van Zandt
Ain’t Leavin’ Your Love
Mister Gator, he's a-gliding down the bayou
Mister Buzzard, he's a-sliding through the air
Mister Turtle be a-hitting the highway
I ain't goin' nowhere
I ain't leaving your love
I ain't leaving your love, babe
Not for heaven above, babe
I ain't leaving your love
The poor man got him an airplane
Trying to cruise across the traffic jam
The rich man got him a Chevrolet
I'm staying right where I am
I ain't leaving your love
I ain't leaving your love, babe
Not for heaven above, babe
I ain't leaving your love
Now Hannibal, he climbed the mountains
Cleopatra danced down the Nile
Lucky Lindy made it all the way to gay Paris
I'm staying right here awhile
I ain't leaving your love
I ain't leaving your love, babe
Not for heaven above, babe
I ain't leaving your love
I ain't leaving your love
I ain't leaving your love, babe
Not for heaven above, babe
I ain't leaving your love
I ain't leaving your love
I ain't leaving your love
I ain't leaving your love, babe
Not for heaven above, babe
I ain't leaving your love
I ain't leaving your love
I ain't leaving your love, babe
Not for heaven above, babe
I ain't leaving your love
