Mason Jennings Lyrics: Dakota

Dakota
from The Flood

I sorta’ met Dakota introduced by Minnesota I just smiled
She was six feet tall she said she hated these walls we stepped outside for a while
She wore a plain green dress said it was cold and it was best she should be running
She kissed my ear and said my dear come see me soon naked I am stunning

And when you do come bring your six-guns
Keep them loaded said Dakota
And when you do come bring your six-guns
Keep them loaded said Dakota
I said one of these days, one of these days, one of these days
I will come

She had something oh my my make you jump high in the sky I swear
She had something yipee ky ay meaner than a dog that’s lost its hair
She had someone made me sore I did want her much much more than good luck
You can go and mark my word Dakota drove a big black Ford pickup truck

And when you do come bring your six-guns
Keep them loaded said Dakota
And when you do come bring your six-guns
Keep them loaded said Dakota
I said one of these days, one of these days, one of these days
I will come
One of these days, one of these days, one of these days
I will come
