Lyrics

Three Shots of Love

Verse 1:
When I was young, I wandered far and wide,
When I got older, we sang songs in the little church yard.
Now life is all around me, when I close my eyes
Promise me forever, so our crazy love will shine.

Chorus 1:
Three shots of love, in the land of lonesome,
Three shots of love, for you and me,
Three shots of love, for you and me.

Verse 2:
The angels question me, one at a time,
The hours getting late, and I really miss your smile.
Promise me just one thing, oh maiden of mine,
The hours getting late, across the heaven’s sky.

Chorus 2:
Three shots of love, in the land of lonesome,
Three shots of love, for you and me,
Three shots of love, for you and me.

Instrumental

Verse 3:
The truth is lying, somewhere in a grave,
No mercy for me, when she comes walking my way.
The streets will carry us home, and we’ll see another day,
Lover lay down, the hours getting late, the hours getting late…

Chorus 3:
Three shots of love, in the land of lonesome,
Three shots of love, for you and me,
Three shots of love, for you and me,
Three shots of love for you and me!
