AMurder tonight in tGhe trailer park.
FMrs. Annabelle Evans found
witEh her throat cut after dark.
AHer pockets turned inside out
her drGesser drawers turned upside down.
FAnna's neighbor, Peg, identifies the body
Elets out Ba hollEow kind of sound.
EHomicidAe is tying yellow ribbons
Earound her silveAr Airstream.
ERed cherAries slashing up the night
Bcutting thArough that cordEoned crime scene.
AThere's beGen a murdeEr in the trailer park tonight.
AMurder tonighGt in the trailer park.
FPack your things, Ann Marie, we're heading
Ewest, we're gonna make a fresh start.
AI've been saving pennies,
been loGoking forward to this day.
FNo time for questions, are you coming
Eor areB you gEonna stay?
ECrosstowAn at the Waterton
EGeorge EvaAns is sitting tall and tight,
Ebuying drAinks for all the regulars
BbragginAg about hoEw them bones danced for him tonight.
AThere's beGen a murdEer in the trailer park tonight.
AMurder tonight in tGhe trailer park.
FFaceless man counting crumpled bills,
Ehotel neon fights the dark.
ATV set in the cGorner, they're talking murder on the late-night news.
FHe turns down the sound, waits for the sports.
EHe only wantBs to knEow "did I win or did I lose?"
EThere's beAen a murdeEr in thAe trailer park tonight.
EMurder iAn the traiEler park.
The song sounds right except for the first B (and its repetitions), which I
think sounds a little off. It must be some B variation. If you can
correct me, I can go to my grave happy.
