Ronnie's
daddy was taking him fishin'
When he was eight years old
A
little girl came through the front gate holding a fishing pole
His
dad looked down and smiled, said we can't leave her behind
Son, I
know you don't want her to go but someday you'll change your mind
And
Ronnie said "Take Fred and George, take Percy, please, take my
best friend Bo
Take anybody that you want as long as she don't
go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy, please don't take the
girl
Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Ten years down the
road
He held her tight and kissed her lips
In front of the
picture show
Death Eater came and pulled his wand
Grabbed her
by the arm Said "If you do what I tell you to, there won't be
any harm"
And
Ronnie said "Take my money, take my wand, take my
omnioculars.
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
Here's my
Comet 260
Mister give it a whirl
But please don't take the
girl
Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Five years down the
road
There's going to be a little one, and she says it's time to
go
Doctor says the baby's fine but you'll have to leave
'Cause
his momma's fading fast and Ronnie hit his knees
And there he
prayed
"Take the very breath you gave me
Take the heart from
my chest
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me
Make this
my last request
Take me out of this world
God, please don't
take the girl"
