See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me
[instrumental verse, as intro]
I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
And blue

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me


[more instrumental verses, over the following spoken dialogue:

Woman: "I just want to tell you I love you, and I miss you. Don't forget about me. You won't forget about me?"

Man: "I won't forget about you. It's cool. No matter where he takes you, Timbuktu, it don't matter, because it's fate. Know? Nobody can stop fate. Nobody can."]

Sheila - Tommy Roe

Some years ago, my son Josiah and I met Tommy Roe when he was performing at an auto show in Black Duck, Minnesota and talked to him for the better part of an afternoon. You couldn't meet someone more personable and down to earth; it was one of those days i'll never forget. He mentioned he was about the same age as Josiah when he wrote 'Sheila', and that originally it was called Frieda, but Sheila just flowed better.

Sweet Pea - Tommy Roe


C        F
Oh Sweet Pea
G                      C
come on and dance with me
             F                         G  C
come on come on come on and dance with me
C        F
Oh Sweet Pea
G                 C
come on and be my girl
                F           G     C
come on come on come on and be my girl

C                          G     C
I went to a dance just the other night
C                          G      C
I met a girl there she was out of sight
C                        G             C
I asked a friend of mine who she could be
C                             G              C
he said that her friends just call her Sweet Pea

C        F
Oh Sweet Pea
G                      C
come on and dance with me
             F                         G  C
come on come on come on and dance with me
C        F
Oh Sweet Pea
G                 C
come on and be my girl
                F           G     C
come on come on come on and be my girl

I walked on over and asked her to dance
thinkin' maybe later of makin' romance
but every guy there was thinkin'; like me
I had to stand in line to get a dance with Sweet Pea

C        F
Oh Sweet Pea
G                      C
come on and dance with me
             F                         G  C

Oh Sweet Pea
G                 C
come on and be my girl
                F           G     C
come on come on come on and be my girl

I finally got to whisper sweet words in her ear
convinced that we oughta get away from there
we took a little walk I held her close to me
and underneath the stars I said to Sweet Pea

C        F      G                  C
Oh Sweet Pea, I love you can't you see
                  F                  G  C
Love you love you love you can't you see
C        F    G                 C
Oh Sweet Pea, come on and be my girl
                F           G     C
come on come on come on and be my girl
