Lyrics
DayZ Girl, my DayZ girl, DayZ oh my lady
Won’t you come in to the shelter now
It’s forty below and windy
And forty below’s too cold
They push you out, they keep you down
They treat you like an outcast
I won’t let them hurt you now
The weather’s coming’ in too fast
It ain’t gonna last
DayZ Girl, My Jersey girl, DayZ oh my lady
Come into the shelter now
It’s cold and windy
You’ve been here so many years
You’ve been so loyal to me
You make my life better, dear
Raising food and babies
Milk and meat and cheese
DayZ Girl, my Jersey girl, DayZ oh my lady
Won’t you come in to the shelter now
It’s cold and windy
Who’s your friend? Invite her in
I like the coal black Candy
Your food is fed, your bed is spread
The bucket’s a comin’ in handy
To get the water in the pail
At forty below things freeze too fast
Come get it while it’s liquid
To keep things a flow at forty below
It takes a special trick yeah
And I don’t know that trick
DayZ Girl, my Jersey girl
DayZ oh my lady
Come in to the shelter now
It’s cold and windy
And forty below’s too cold
