The Rock Of Gibraltar (Album Version) - Frankie Laine

作词：T. Gilkyson

作曲：T. Gilkyson

Gibraltar is standing alone

That's why they call me the rock of gibraltar

That's why they say my heart is made of stone

So don't you try to lead me to the altar

Because gibraltar is standing alone

Gibraltar is standing alone

I've travelled all over from city light to clover

I'm selling brushes door to door

The ladies know me well

They're buying what I sell

But I never let 'em ask for any more

And I never put my toes in a door

That might be closin'

I try to use my winning ways

But when I know for certain the lady is a-flirtin'

I tell her I'll be back in thirty days

That's why they call me the rock of gibraltar

That's why they say my heart is made of stone

So don't you try to lead me to the altar

Because gibraltar is standing alone

Yes gibraltar is standing alone

Now when a lady rushes

I sell her two more brushes

And then I leaver her at the door

I'm always thinking of the freedom that I love

'Cause I'm a man of freedom to the core

So it's not that I am choosy with isabel or susie

I just like to lead a happy life

Give me women wine and song

Then I know I can't go wrong

Until I take a woman for a wife

That's why they call me the rock of gibraltar

That's why they say my heart is made of stone

So don't you try to lead me to the altar

Because gibraltar is standing alone

Yes gibraltar is standing alone

So it happened one morning without any warning

I knew that I had met my doom

She was pretty she was sweet

She swept me off my feet

She didn't even have to buy a broom

They used to call me the rock of gibraltar

And now they say my heart is made of clay

But after she had led me to the altar

Then old gibraltar crumbled away

Old gibraltar took a tumble that day
