Chicken Hearted (Alt. version) — текст песни (Roy Orbison)

(Bill Justis)
My girlfriend slipped and fell
Now she`s hanging from a cliff
I can`t come to her rescue
But these flowers I must sniff

You see I`d really like to save her
but I aint got the nerve
I`m chicken hearted
I`m chicken hearted

I`m tryin` to kiss my girl
And it makes me want to faint
I`m scared of my own shadow
And afraid of what I ain`t

I`ve no inspiration
I`m kinda yellow...
I`m chicken hearted,
I`m chicken hearted

Mama`s in the workshop
Daddy`s in the jail
I seem to be afraid
To go to work and make their bail

I guess my folks will have to stay there
Cos I`m just like a snail
I`m chicken hearted,
I`m chicken hearted
