Standing by the Gate

[Intro]
(Ladies and gentlemen, the Highwaymen)

[Verse 1]
Standin' by the gate when the moon is high
Standin' by the gate when the moon is high
Standin' by the gate when the moon is high
Waitin' for my pretty gal to come by and by

[Chorus]
Here she comes so sweet and fair
Clear blue eyes and silky hair
Roses in her cheeks and a dimple in her chin
You can stay, young man, but you can't come in

[Verse 2]
Roses in the garden in the sun
Roses in the garden in the sun
Roses in thе garden in the sun
Be carеful that you don't get a frostbitten one

[Chorus]
Here she comes so sweet and fair
Clear blue eyes and silky hair
Roses in her cheeks and a dimple in her chin
You can stay, young man, but you can't come in

[Verse 3]
Everybody knows it's the only way
Everybody knows it's the only way
Everybody knows it's the only way
You court all night, and you sleep all day

[Chorus]
Well, here she comes so sweet and fair
Clear blue eyes and silky hair
Roses in her cheeks and a dimple in her chin
You can stay, young man, but you can't come in

[Outro]
You can stay, young man
But you can't come in
