I'm not a stamp collector,
but I've got a hobby too
Bringin' home a souvenir,
trinkets old and new
Feathers from a rooster,
find a whistle from the fire
Always get a souvenir
to prove that I was there
I got a piece of silky thread
from bashful Mary's gown
A nugget from a stream of gold,
a red nose from a clown
A horseshoe from a rodeo,
a claw from a bear
I always get a souvenir
to prove that I was there
Oh, I always get a souvenir
everywhere I go
I got some little something
from every girl I know
A pair of fuzzy bobby socks,
a lock of curly hair
Always get a souvenir
to prove that I was there
I took a burned out piston
from a winning racer car
I've even got a G -string
from Gene Shepard's guitar
I've collected everything
from soap to silverware
Always get a souvenir
to prove that I was there
Now I'm not bragging when I say
with women I have dealt
You can tell I've been there
by the notches on my belt
I've collected different things
from every love affair
Always get a souvenir
to prove that I was there
I've got a fine collection,
but you're my pride and joy
You're the one I like the best,
you make me a happy boy
To trade you for a million things,
hon, I wouldn't dare
Cause you and me are gonna
get me another souvenir
