Ain’t Leavin’ Your Love Townes Van Zandt

Mister Gator, he's a-gliding down the bayou
Mister Buzzard, he's a-sliding through the air
Mister Turtle be a-hitting the highway
I ain't goin' nowhere

I ain't leaving your love
I ain't leaving your love, babe
Not for heaven above, babe
I ain't leaving your love

The poor man got him an airplane
Trying to cruise across the traffic jam
The rich man got him a Chevrolet
I'm staying right where I am

I ain't leaving your love
I ain't leaving your love, babe
Not for heaven above, babe
I ain't leaving your love

Now Hannibal, he climbed the mountains
Cleopatra danced down the Nile
Lucky Lindy made it all the way to gay Paris
I'm staying right here awhile

I ain't leaving your love
I ain't leaving your love, babe
Not for heaven above, babe
I ain't leaving your love
