Johnny:
Oh, tell me will you, darling 
Why you look so bad tonight
You got bags around your eyeballs
That are red instead of white


June Carter:
Well, let me put it this way, you came, I was alone
Shucks, I should a knowed that you was temptation
You smiled a leering me on, my heart is plumb gone 
Cause you was temptation 


June:
It’ll be thrilling if you’re willing 
But if it never can be then a pity for me
For you was too bored to be kissed 
I couldn’t resist cause you was temptation and I was yours


Johnny:
As the apple tempted Adam 
As the serpent tempted Eve
As the willow tree tempts the caterpillar, baby


June: That’s how you tempted me


Johnny:
As the corn liquor tempts the drunkard 
As sorghum tempts the bee
As the mud hole tempts the mosquito, baby


June:
That’s how you tempted me
For you came and I was alone
Shucks, I should a knowed that you was temptation
(A ring-a-ding-ding-ding)
You smiled a leering me on my heart is plumb gone 
For you was temptation 


June:
It’ll be thrilling if you’re willing 
But if it never can be then a pity for me
For you was too bored to be kissed 
I couldn’t resist cause you was temptation and I was yours


June:
Here is my heart 
Take it away, oh take it away
Say that we will never, never, never part


June:
I’m just a slave, just a dadburn slave
I’m a going to wed you
For you’re temptation and I’m a red hot flame
Johnny: Hot splinter 
 June: For you
