Hotter Than The Mojave

HOTTER THAN MOJAVE IN MY HEART (Iris DeMent)

--------------------------------------------

[On "Austin City Limits," she had a capo on the fourth fret. The

recording sounds like it's on the third.]

[Play bass runs between D & G if you can, and between G & G between

sections (the bass goes G-D-E-F#-G).]

 

Well I've heard 'em say there's one for everybody

And I just knew somehow that you'd be the one for me

'Cause making love with you's not just a hobby

No, it's the flame that burnt the forest down in me

And darling was it day or was it nighttime

Were them whipporwills a-moaning through the trees, through the trees

I don't remember just what you said but ooh, right from the start you made me

Hotter than Mojave in my heart

 

Well baby, I could stay this way forever

Just passing time at ninety-nine degrees

'Cause loving you's my favorite kind of weather

Oh, forever let the flame burn down in me

And I'll not prepare my heart for the change of season

And I'll whip old Winter Wind there if she blows

Well god bless the day that you came along

And you tipped my applecart and you made me

Hotter than Mojave in my heart

 

 

And I'll not prepare my heart for the change of season

And I'll whip old Winter Wind there if she blows

Well god bless the day that you came along

And you tipped my applecart and you made me

Hotter than Mojave in my heart

G D G G.

Now it's hotter than Mojave in my heart
