Bobby Kelly - Lock Your Golden Gate Lyrics

According to this world without any rate
Without any learning to guide my fate
It wasn't many years till I could see
A girl was needed to comfort me

Your parents better lock your golden gate
Lock that gate before it's too late
Your parents better lock your golden gate
Going to steal your daughter for my mate

I was like the serpent in the tree
Hissing out back for a girl to notice me
When she came by she didn't realize
I had the power to hypnotize

Your parents better lock your golden gate
Lock that gate before it's too late
Your parents better lock your golden gate
Going to steal your daughter for my mate

Love and marriage was on my mind
So I fell right in with love divine
We were married before too late
That's the way I met my fate

Your parents better lock your golden gate
Lock that gate before it's too late
Your parents better lock your golden gate
Going to steal your daughter for my mate
Steal your daughter
Steal your daughter
Steal your daughter
