MORGANA JONES
(Kenny Rogers)


Kenny Rogers & The First Edition - 1973
Kenny Rogers - 1978



Morgana Jones was a middle-aged woman
She was lovely as she could be
Lookin' for a kid about half her age
To show him what there was to see

Morgana knew more tricks than Houdini
She could make a blind man see
Make a crippled man run along high hurdles
And Morgana's coming after me

Morgana leave me alone
I don't need none of your action
Morgana leave me alone
I got my own kind o' satisfaction

I gave ten dollars for an hour-and-a-half
God, it sure went fast
Morgana kept her eyes on her watch
She knew how long I'd last

Many was the time I'd hide up the hill
It was that or the undertakers
And morning would come and I'd tiptoe out
And pray to God I wouldn't wake her

Morgana leave me alone
I don't need none of your action
Morgana leave me alone
I got my own kind o' satisfaction

(Instrumental Break)

Now that I think about poor Morgana
She really wasn't all that bad
I know she's not the best I've known
but she's sure not the worst I've had

It really didn't matter when she said it was over
I didn't have to bother
The thing that hurt when she looked at me
Said I'd never be as good as my father

Morgana leave me alone
I don't need none of your action
Morgana leave me alone
I got my own kind o' satisfaction

Don't you talk about Morgana
