[Verse 1]
Jemima surrender
I'm gonna give it to you, girl
Ain't no pretender
Gonna ride in my canoe
If I were a barker in a girly show
Tell you what I'd do
I'd lock the door, tear my shirt
And let my river flow

[Chorus 1]
Sweet Jemima, won't you come out tonight?
The ground is warm and the moon is bright

[Verse 2]
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 he looks like a hawk

[Chorus 2]
Sweet Jemima, you know what I say
Meet me out front and we'll fly away
[Verse 3]
Jemima surrender
I'm gonna give it to you, girl
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 doin' too much fishin’
Or drinkin' any wine

[Chorus 3]
Sweet Jemima, if I were a king
I'd fix you up with a diamond ring

[Outro]
Jemima surrender
No pretender
I’m gonna give you all the love I’ve got
If I were a king, know what I’d do
I’d give you a diamond ring
Oh, surrender
