Verse 1
Let me tell you about a girl, the love of my life
And all the the things a man must do to make a girl his wife.
Oh I asked her if she'd marry me
But she shook her bonny head
She looked me up and down and then she said.
Let's be honest, Pleasant Jack, we both know who you are.
You're a very charming lad, but with you, my family'd starve.
Oh I can't feed them with a smile, 'cause smiles don't get us fed.
So get those silly thoughts out of your head.
Well there weren't much work around when I was a younger man.
But I knew I loved you, Nanny Belle, so I came up with a plan.
I grabbed my momma's gun, and the bullets I did take
And I went to town to rob me a bank.
Chorus
I would walk through fire for you.
I would kill a man if you asked me to
Oh can't you see? There's no one that loves you
More than me.
Verse 2
Back then I was just a very wide-eyed little girl.
Living in a small town, I knew nothing of the world.
There was some excitement, on that autumn day,
Some masked desperado robbed a bank.
As I walked into the bank, my heart, it did fall
But then I thought of Nanny Belle and it strengthened my resolve
I walked up to the counter, brandishing my gun
Saying, "Gimme all you got, don't test me, son."
As I went to bed that night, there was a knock on my window.
It was Pleasant Jack, with a smile so wide, saying "Darling, I love you so."
And then he held up bags of cash, the biggest I'd ever seen.
He took a little bow and then he said to me.
(Chorus)
Bridge
There's nothing I won't do, for you. I love you so.
Oh, you silly fool, what'd you do?
Get inside.
Third Verse
The coppers were hot on my trail, I had so little time.
I reached out to my Nanny Belle, she placed her hand in mine.
She said, "My foolish, darling boy, you know that you can't hide.
She kissed me on the cheek and went outside.
The policemen, oh he said to me, "We know you're hiding him.
Unless you want to share a cell we suggest you turn him in."
At that very moment, it was then I realized, I had to go back in and say goodbye.
Nanny Belle returned to me with a very furrowed brow.
She took my hand and said, "My love, oh we're in it now."
She turned to her family and with a smile she said,
"You never have to worry, I'll keep you fed."
2nd Bridge
So I said (spoken)
Oh, you silly fool, what'd you do?
What'd you do?
There's nothing I won't do, for you.
Now let's run.
(chorus)

Break Your Heart

I'm gonna break your heart.
I'm gonna let you down.
I'm gonna walk away.
I'm gonna fool around.
I'm gonna tell you lies.
I'm gonna be untrue.
I'm gonna make you cry.
I'm gonna come unglued.
So, what'cha, what'cha, what'cha
gonna do?
You better run away.
You better run and hide.
You better make your escape.
