lyrics

She’ been makin’ men of boys since she was seventeen
Make them all forget their toys and let them know where the grass is green
She sure opened up their eyes, showed them right from wrong
One night with Ol’ Cecilia make them strong

I was born in Nova Scotia, yeah, I was doin’ fine
Spent one night with the ‘Cilia girl, next thing I’m doin’ time
She sure opened up my eyes, showed me right from wrong
One night with Ol’ Cecilia make me strong

She pulled into every town this side of Crippled Creek
But soon enough the law came down, with whom she’d never speak
She sure opened up their eyes, showed them right from wrong
One night with Ol’ Cecilia make them strong

Now Vicar Gibley wasn’t pleased when found she’d movin’ in
He cursed the drunkards every night, was not a min of sin
But she sure opened up his eyes, showed him right from wrong
One night with Ol’ Cecilia make him strong

Legend has it once before, a spinster over town
Ain’t a spinster anymore, leant ‘Cilia an over-down
She sure opened up her eyes, showed her right from wrong
One night with Ol’ Cecilia make her strong

Now the moral of the story folks is one that we have learned
There ain’t no harm in gettin’ hot once none of us gets burned
For she sure opened up our eyes, showed us right from wrong
One night with Ol’ Cecilia make us strong
One night with Ol’ Cecilia make us strong
One night with Ol’ Cecilia make us strong
