I Always Get a Souvenir

I'm not stamp collector but I've got a hobby too Bringin' home a souvenir trinkets old and new Feathers from a rooster fight a whistle from a fair I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there Well I've got a piece of silky thread from bashful Mary's gown A nugget from a stream of gold and a red nose from a clown A horseshoe from a rodeo a claw from a bear Well I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there I always get a souvenir everywhere I go Well I've got some little something from every girl I know I pair of fuzzy bobby socks a lock of curly hair I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there [ guitar ] Well I took a burned out piston from a winning racer car Well I've even got a G string from Gene Sheppard's guitar I've collected everything soap to silverware I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there Well now I'm not bragging when I say with women I have dealt Well you can tell I've been there by the notches on my belt Yes I've collected different things from every love affair I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there I've got a fine collection but you're my pride and joy You're the one I like the best you make me a happy boy To trade you for a million things hon I wouldn't dare Cause you and me are gonna get me another souvenir
