Go Back

Slowly But Surely

Words & Music by Lenor Rosenblatt, Victor Millrose

Lyrics:

I'm just a Smokey Mountain boy
Coming back to the hills I love
Where the tops of pine are bending in the wind
And the deep blue sky above

The closer and closer I get to home the more excited I am
Those were the mornings I'd roll out of bed
Start the day off with a hot corn bread
Smothered in huckleberry jam

(repeat)

I can almost hear the hounds running through the woods
Close on the trail of the hare
How I long to be with them following the hounds a-huntin' again
Gettin' me a big old grizzly bear

(repeat)

I travelled around and met lots of girls no matter how many I see
I left some pretty ones behind
I know back home is where I'll find
The girl whose love is meant for me

(repeat)

Lyrics: Slowly but surely I'm gonna wear you down
Slowly but surely I'm gonna bring you round
To my way of thinking, my way of kissin’, my way of lovin'
Slowly but surely, I'm gonna make you mine

Ain't gonna rush ya', I'll let you meditate
Though I wanna crush ya' my arms will have to wait
I'll just take it easy, so nice and easy, real cool really
Slowly but surely, I'm gonna make you mine

Oh yeah! Mm-mm, I’ve gotta feelin’ I'm not wasting my time
Oh yeah! When you get the message it's gonna be fine
Slowly but surely, the table's gonna turn
Slowly but surely, your lips are gonna burn
For what you've been missin', my kind of kissin', my kind of lovin'
Slowly but surely, I'm gonna make you mine

(repeat)

I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine
