Mr. Gator he's a-slidin' down the bayou

Mr. Buzzard he's a-glidin' through the air

Mr. Turtle he's a-hittin' the highway

But I ain't goin' nowhere





I ain't leavin you love

Ain't leavin you love

Not for heaven above babe

I ain't leavin you love





The rich man's got him an airplane

Cruising through the traffic jam

A poor man's got him a Chevrolet

I'm stayin' right where I am





Hannibal he was a mountain man

Cleopatra did her dancin' down the Nile

Lucky Lindy made it all the way to gay Paree

I'm stayin right here awhile





I ain't leavin you love

Ain't leavin you love

Not for heaven above babe

I ain't leavin you love
