Well, Portland, Oregon and Sloe Gin Fizz`                     `A cocktail of Sloe Gin (gin-based liquor

If that ain't love, then tell me what is
   F       G
Uh huh, uh huh

Well, I lost my heart, it didn't take no time
                                  C       G 
That ain't all, I lost my mind in Oregon

VERSE 2:
In a booth in the corner with the lights down low
I was movin' in fast, she was takin' it slow
Uh huh, uh huh
Well, I looked at him and caught him lookin' at me
I knew right then we were playin' free in Oregon

VERSE 3:
Next day we knew last night got drunk
But we loved enough for the both of us
Uh huh, uh huh
In the morning, when the night had sobered up
It was much too late for the both of us in Oregon

VERSE 4:
Well, Sloe Gin Fizz works mighty fast
When you drink it by the pitcher and not by the glass
Uh huh, uh huh
Hey, bartender, before you close
Pour us one more drink and a pitcher to go

C
And a pitcher to go
And a pitcher to go
And a pitcher to go
And a pitcher to go
And a pitcher to go
And a pitcher to go
Yeah
And a pitcher to go
And a pitcher to go
