Ely Joe - Fingernails Lyrics

I keep my fingernails long

So they Click when I play the piano

I keep my fingernails long

So they Click when I play the piano

I'm gonna keep 'em that way

Till the Swallows get back from Texarkana.



I keep my fingernails long

So they Click when I play the piano

I keep my fingernails long

So they Click when I play the piano

I'm gonna keep 'em that way

Till the Swallows get back from Louisiana.

Well, I used to chew 'em off

I was Nervous over you.

I missed that clickin', tickin' sound,

Honey, what I'm gonna do,

Is keep my fingernails long

So they Click when I play the piano

I keep my fingernails long

So they Click when I play the piano

I'm gonna keep 'em that way

Till the Swallows get back from Alabama.
