Why Don't You Haul Off And Love Me?
by Wayne Raney and Lonnie Glossen
"I got my idea
for this song one day when Lonnie Glossen's little
daughter Mary got on her father's lap and said, 'Daddy,
why don't you haul off and give me some lovin'?' It was
one of the easiest songs I've ever written. My recording
of the song sold over a million copies, and it has been
recorded twenty-one times or more since." —Wayne Raney
Why Don't You Haul Off And Love Me?
They say the love bug will get you at the age of
twenty-three
Well, I'm not telling my age, but something's got a-hold
of me
I'm just cravin' some lovin' in the old fashioned way
Honey, lend an ear 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 a-turning blind?
If you don't cuddle up and love me like I want you to do
I'm a-gonna haul off and die over you.
I can feel your warm lips near me, hear you breath 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 fine
It seems mighty close to heaven when your love is on the
line.
