Well here I’m hanging from a tree
and the crows they eat my eyes
but i couldn't help myself
I’m starting to laugh so speak no evil

i shot the law down with my gun
it was a sheriff so i had fun
and it's a kind of a shame
that I’m to blame so speak no evil

(Chorus)
He rode with the devil through the storms and the mist
and once they've buried him alive
he never saw his father and his mother was a whore

i trashed a bank with my gang
i couldn't escape the fucking fang
and they locked me up in jail
but i couldn't pay the bail and you say that I’m evil

Well this is right and this is wrong
you claim to tell us so
but there's two sides of a coin
i won't stay in line just say that I’m evil

(Chorus)
He rode with the devil through the storms and the mist
and once they've buried him alive
he never saw his father and his mother was a whore

Well here I’m hanging from a tree
and the crows they eat my eyes
but i couldn't help myself
I'm starting to laugh just say that I’m evil

i trashed a bank with my gang
i couldn't escape the fucking fang
and they locked me up in jail
but i couldn't pay the bail and you say that I’m evil

(Chorus)
He rode with the devil through the storms and the mist
and once they've buried him alive
he never saw his father and his mother was a whore

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
