Peter Hand - Nettle Patch Lyrics

Johnny and his girl just wanted some time alone
But every place they went, they were never on their own
So they walked in the country 'til they found a quiet place to lay
But the grass was full of weeds, and there were prickles in the hay
Now Johnny called his girl a few days after that
And he apologized for the weeds, said he felt real bad
She just laughed and said, Johnny, that's the best lovin' I ever had
But there's something you can do to make it up to me, so don't feel sad
Take me to the nettle patch and love me once more
Let me feel the tingle like I felt it before
Through the farmer's field 'til we're both out of sight
Love me in the nettles tonight
Now when they're in the mood and the moon is shining bright
Johnny and his girl take a stroll in the fading light
Cos it's their special place, where no one else wants to go
She takes him by the hand and she whispers deep and slow
Take me to the nettle patch and love me once more
Let me feel the tingle like I felt it before
Through the farmer's field 'til we're both out of sight
Love me in the nettles tonight
And in the nettle patch, their love was wild and free
Just Johnny and his girl, beneath that old oak tree
With the stars above and dappled moonlight on her pretty face
In their secret hollow, far away from that old rat race
Now when they're in the mood and the moon is shining bright
Johnny and his girl take a stroll in the fading light
Cos it's their special place, where no one else wants to go
She takes him by the hand and she whispers deep and slow
Take me to the nettle patch and love me once more
Let me feel the tingle like I felt it before
Through the farmer's field 'til we're both out of sight
Love me in the nettles tonight
Take me to the nettle patch and love me once more
Let me feel the tingle like I felt it before
Through the farmer's field 'til we're both out of sight
Love me
In the nettles tonight
