Closer To The Mill (Off To California) Lyrics by JP Harris

Don’t You Marry No Railroad Man

2021

[Verse 1]
Well if you want some heat, gotta draw a little flame
If you want something sweet you gotta squeeze a little cane
If you want some wheat, you raise a little grain
And get a little closer to the mill
[Verse 2]
Well it may sound funny, but as sure as I sing
If you want some money, you sell some thing
You if want a little honey, gotta take a little sting
And get a little closer to the mill
[Chorus]
Oh-dee-lay-hee there’s a little secret in the words that I sing
When it comes to lovin’ you take what you bring
And get a little closer to the mill
[Verse 3]
Well if you want to be a buy, you gotta have the price
If you want to roll high, well you gotta throw the dice
If you want to take a try, you cut you off a slice
And get a little closer to the mill
[Verse 4]
Well it ain’t no crime and it ain’t no shame
If the gold is fine, you oughta stake a claim
If you want to be mine, you better do the same
And get a little closer to the mill
