Da little girl who was almost a lady had a Gway with all the men in her Dlife every Ainch of her blosoms in beauty she was Gborn on the forth of Djuly
and she lived in an aluminum house trailer and she worked in a juke-box saloon and she spent all the money i'd give her just to see the ol' man in the moon CHORUS:
I used to Dsleep at the foot of old glory andG awake in the dawns early Dlight but much Gto my surprise when i Dopened my eyes i wasA a victim of the great Dcompromise ------
we used to go out on saturday evening to the drive in on route fourty one and it was there that I first discovered she was doin' what she'd already done she said 'johny would you get me some popcorn and she knew i had to walk pretty far and as soon as i walked through the moonlight she'd hopped into a foreign sports car CHORUS and you know, i could'a beat up that fella but it was her that hopped in to his car as many times as i'd fought to protect her well this time she'd gone too far and some folks call me a coward 'cause i left her at the drive in that night but i'd rather have names thrown at me than to fight for a thing that aint right CHORUS now she writes all the fellas love letters sayin' please come and see me real soon and there's a growin' line up in the bar-room to spend a night in that sick womans room and sometimes i get awful lonesome and i wish she were my girl instead but she won't let me live with her she makes me live in my head CHORUS --- __________________________________________________________ Walt Dabell KD3GS (302)645-4225 walt@diusys.cms.udel.edu U of Delaware / College of Marine Studies 700 Pilottown Rd.
