PORTER WAGONER AND DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Milwaukee Here I Come

(Lee Fikes)



I'm gonna get on that old turnpike and I'm gonna ride

I'm gonna leave this town 'til you decide

Which one you want the most, them Opery stars or me

Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee



Milwaukee's where we were before we came here

Working in a brewery, making the finest beer

She came to me on a payday night, said

"Let's go to Tennessee," so we came down to Nashville to the Grand Ole Opery



We turned on the TV, Porter Wagoner was singing loud

I said that's the man for me, I love him, there's no doubt

I'm leaving now see if I can find out where he's at

And if I can't find him, I'll settle for that bluegrass Lester Flatt



I'm going now and trade my old Ford for an Olds

I might get all drunked up and trade it for a Rolls

But there's one thing I know for sure, I'll always be blue

There ain't no way to get drunk enough to stop loving you
