Buy Juanita Some Flowers Lyrics

(Steve Karliski)

My outfit was stationed near a small border town
I met her one day in a small cabaret
I discovered just off the camp ground
Her name was Juanita and I loved her so
And I took from my hand that gold wedding band
That I wore back home.

Each weekend I'd buy Juanita some flowers
And wrap them up in lies
I'd buy Juanita some flowers
So she couldn't see the shame in my eyes.

I just couldn't tell her that our love couldn't be
So I lied to amuse her cause I knew I'd lose her
If she learned the truth about me
For the sake of this woman I've forsaken my soul
But her kiss was to blame it set off a flameBilly Walker - Buy Juanita Some Flowers - http://motolyrics.com/billy-walker/buy-juanita-some-flowers-lyrics.html
I couldn't control.

Each weekend I'd buy Juanita some flowers
And wrap them up in lies
I'd buy Juanita some flowers
So she couldn't see the shame in my eyes.

And then someone told her that I had a wife
I tried to explain but her gun spit a flame
And as I fell she took her own life
And now it's all over I won't last I know
Do one thing for me in her memory
Before I go.

Won't someone please buy Juanita some flowers
For all the trust she gave
Please buy Juanita some flowers
And place them for me upon her grave...
