Louis Jordan - Heed My Warning lyrics

You can lead a horse to water But you can't make him drink You can send a kid to college But you can't make him think You'll never miss your water, baby Till the well runs dry And you'll never miss me, baby Till I say bye bye Mm hm, you'd better heed my warning The straw that broke the camel's back Didn't have to be so big When you went off and left me, baby I almost blew my wig But he who has the last laugh Always laughs the best And I'm gonna laugh louder Than all the rest So you better heed my warning If you want me to get out, baby You know you don't have to push But you'll find a bird in hand Is worth two in the bush There's no need to lock the barn When the cow is gone You're gonna miss me, baby On some frosty dawn You'd better heed my warning It's a long, long road That doesn't have a turn You have to be an early bird If you wanna catch the worm A word to the wise is sufficient, so they say But you gotta have sunshine, if you wanna make hay You better heed my warning Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so its plain to see If the gra** look greener yonder That's where I'm gonna be So you'd better heed my warning
