Lyrics

Lada Dee Lada Doe ©2004 Jon T. Howard

When I was a boy my Daddy took me aside
He said son all you’ve got in life is your word and pride
When it comes to affairs of the heart always think twice
Women will always be man’s greatest vice

Gamblers always lose it’s just a matter of time
When you bet against the house
You’ll always pay the price

Oh Lada Dada Dee Da Doe
You’re damned if you do and a fool to say you won’t
They say stick with the devil that you know
Oh Lada Dee Dada Doe
Oh life’s no bed of roses
Oh life’s no bed of roses
That’s right

Many have fallen trying to walk the line
Burn by flames of lust and foolish pride
Yeah the book of love is filled with stories and rhymes
Written by those who know love’s paradigm

Ramblers live the blues it’s just their way of life
If you let it get the best of you
Love can break your stride

Oh Lada Dada Dee Da Doe
You’re damned if you do and a fool to say you won’t
They say stick with the devil that you know
Oh Lada Dee Dada Doe
Oh life’s no bed of roses
Oh life’s no bed of roses
