Kissin' Is a Crime Songtext
von The Carter Family

I know a little girl and I want her for my wife
She′s pretty and sweet neat little feet and never been kissed in her life
You can ask her for a kiss she said oh what a bore
Every time she bows and declares she'll never do so anymore Born to be a better girl and never kiss again Afraid my ma might find it out and cause her great pain You may walk and talk and hold my hand but kissing is a crime I′ll not kiss you anymore until next time
I called at her house one night but I didn't intend to stay She laid her head on my shoulder and said the old folks are away
I kissed her a dozen times and someone came to the door
Every time she bowed and declared she'd never do so anymore
She′ll see you too the door kiss and then goodnight
Every time she bows and declares she′ll never do so any more
