Before she married Johnny Cash, she married Carl Smith on 9 July 1952. They performed together regularly at the Grand Ole Opry and this song was one of their standards.
Now I've got schemes
And you've got schemes
Let's get together and dream some dreams
Let's go
Times a wastin'
I've got lips
And I've got lips
Let's get together and use those lips
Let's go
Times a wastin'
A cakes no good if you don't mix the batter and bake it
And loves just a bubble if you don't take the trouble to make it
So if you're free to go with me
I'll take you quicker than one, two, three
Let's go
Times a wastin'
Now I've got blues
And I've got blues
Let's get acquainted and lose those blues
Let's go
Time's a wastin'
Now I've got feet
And I've got feet
Let's start to walk with a lovers beat
Let's go
Times a wastin'
You've got me feelin' love like I never have felt it
You're full of sugar and I'm think I'm the burner to melt it
