Elvira Lyrics

Song by The Oak Ridge Boys

Elvira
Elvira
My heart’s on fire for Elvira

With eyes that look like heaven
Lips like cherry wine
That girl can sure enough make my little light shine
I get a funny feelin’ up and down my spine
‘Cause I know that my Elvira’s mine

Elvira
Elvira
My heart’s on fire for Elvira
Giddy up, um-poppa-um-poppa, mow, mow
Giddy up, um-poppa-um-poppa, mow, mow
High-ho silver, away

Tonight I’m gonna meet her at the hungry house café
I’m gonna give her all the love I can
Yes, I am
She’s gonna jump and holler
I’ve saved up my last two dollar
We’re gonna search and find that preacher man

Then I’ll be singin’
Elvira
Elvira
My heart’s on fire for Elvira
Giddy up, um-poppa-um-poppa, mow, mow
Giddy up, um-poppa-um-poppa, mow, mow
High-ho silver, away

Elvira
Elvira
My heart’s on fire for Elvira
Giddy up, um-poppa-um-poppa, mow, mow
Giddy up, um-poppa-um-poppa, mow, mow
High-ho silver, away

Elvira (yeah)
Elvira
My heart’s on fire for Elvira
Giddy up, um-poppa-um-poppa, mow, mow
Giddy up, um-poppa-um-poppa, mow, mow
High-ho silver, away
Play again
Whoo!
