From the recording Dreams Will Take You Far
8. Girl From Picton
© Felicito Guerrero 2024
My wife and I were driving through Otago region and stopped to help a lady whose ute had a flat front tire. We gave her a ride to get some help with the ute and during the short ride she asked where we were from. My wife answered "Texas" and our rider thought she said "Picton". So ever since, my wife became my girl from Picton.

Girl From Picton
© Felicito Guerrero 2024
Christchurch girls are pretty.
They can dance, two-step, and twirl.
Them Queenstown girls are rockers.
But I'll take my Picton girl.
Eyes of blue, soft hair of red
Sweet little voice will charm your head
The bestest thing that I ever ever did
Was marry a girl from Picton
Wahine from the Bay of Islands
So fine on the golden sand
But the island style don't make me smile
Like my girl from Picton can.
Eyes of blue, soft hair of red
Sweet little voice will charm your head
The bestest thing that I ever ever did
Was marry a girl from Picton
Summer in the City of Sails
Fine women, that's no fiction
But I didn't play, I was counting down the days to be
Back with my girl in Picton.
Eyes of blue, soft hair of red
Sweet little voice will charm your head
The bestest thing that I ever ever did
Was marry a girl from Picton
Eyes of blue, soft hair of red
Sweet little voice will charm your head
The bestest thing that I ever ever did
Was marry a girl from Picton
The bestest thing that I ever ever did
Was marry a girl from Picton
