Here are the lyrics - thanks to linda_lakeside for the transcription.
I will post them shortly also on the main site.
The song is credited to Leonard and Bob Johnston.

COME SPEND THE MORNING

Long legged, dusty-eyed, satisfied woman, 
Come spend the morning with me.

We took the night
As it came to us
Both of us hungry and free
Long legged, dusty-eyed, satisfied woman, 
Come spend the morning with me.

Go tell the saints on their crosses
Go tell all the brave, young 
Captains at war 
To come back and find them such a peaceful morning 
Then they'll go killing no more.

Come spend the morning,
Come spend the morning,
Come spend the morning with me.

Wake up my lady
The darkness is gone
Once again, I guess we're both free
Ah you, long legged, open-eyed, satisfied woman, 
Come on, spend the morning, Spend the morning with me.



Note: we don't have original written lyrics, but all who have
listened to the song really hear Lee Hazlewood singing
dusty-eye and not dusky-eyed!!!
