Hank Locklin Lyrics
"Why Don't You Haul Off and Love Me"

(Wayne Raney - Lonnie Glosson)

They say love will get you at the age of twenty-three
I'm not telling my age but something got a hold on me
I'm just craving some loving in the old fashion way
Honey, linger near and listen to all I have to say.

Why don't you haul off and love me one more time
Why don't you squeeze me until I'm turning blind
If you don't cuddle up and love me like I want you to do
I'm gonna haul off and die over you.

Now darling come a little closer put your little hand in mine
Let me feel your arms about me honey please don't change your mind
For my lovesick heart's a drumming as I hold you close to mine
Found that there's a lotta lovin' waitin' for me on the line.

Why don't you haul off and love me one more time
Why don't you squeeze me until I'm turning blind
If you don't cuddle up and love me like I want you to do
I'm gonna haul off and die over you.

--- Instrumental ---

Now I can feel your warm lips near me hear you breathe so soft and fine
I can feel the matrimony crawlin' up and down my spine
I don't believe this love will hurt you cause it feels so nice and kind
It seems mighty close to heaven when your love is on the line.

Why don't you haul off and love me one more time
Why don't you squeeze me until I'm turning blind
If you don't cuddle up and love me like I want you to do
I'm gonna haul off and die over you...
