 Riff 1 x 2
 Jemima Surrender, I'm  gonna give it to you,
 Ain't no pretender, gonna ride  in my canoe.
 If I  were a barker in a girly  show,
 Tell ya what  I'd do,  I'd lock  the door, tear  my shirt and let  my river flow.
 Oh, oh,  Sweet Jemima wont'cha come  out tonight?
 The ground  is so warm and the moon  is so bright!
 Jemima Surrender, I'm gonna give it to you,
 I'll bring over my Fender
 And I'll play all night for you.
 There's a bird on my head
 And his mouth won't talk,
 You know he laughs just like a goose,
 But looks like a hawk
 Jemima, you know what I'm try'n to say,
 Meet me in front and we'll fly away.
You  can change your  name
 You can find a new  walk
 You can change a  lock, its all the same
You  don't have to give  out
 If you'll only give  in
 You can jump and shout but can't you  see girl, that I'm bound to win
 Jemima Surrender, I'm gonna give it to you,
 Ain't no pretender, gonna see my tattoo;
 I hand you my rod and you hand me that line,
 That's what you do, now, we ain't doing much fishin'
 Or drinkin' any wine.
 Sweet Jemima, if I were king
 I'd fix you up with a diamond ring.
