From the recording The Shoe Song
(The first love song I wrote after getting together with Tom. He really did lose his shoe in my backyard).
Lyrics
I found your shoe underneath my tree
The night of our backyard jamboree
When you spread your blanket for the devil to see
And spooned and crooned your love for me
Planted a flower inside your shoe
To shoe the world that our love was true
And it smiles at the sun and winks at the moon
And says pretty baby won’t you come home soon
Please pretty baby won’t you come home soon
Won’t you come home soon and marry me
Under the shade of the backyard tree
And I’ll carry the flower planted in your shoe
To show the world our love was true
We’ll build a house up in that tree
I’d feed you cake and marigold tea
And you’ll spread your blanket for the devil to see
And spoon and croon your love for me
Spoon and croon your love for me
Spoon and croon your love for me
