intro.....A E B E A E B E
He was a bouncer at a Jungle Pony's bodyshop
She was a nAight cashier down at the stop & shop
He was kEinda good lookin' she was kinda fun
Down 'neath that bBig 'ol tree out where the Eriver runs
Cho.. Little AAngelyne, little Angelyne
As the sEun goes down & the moonlght shines
Back of the grBeyhound bus sat two lovers entwined
Just big Bill & litEtle Angelyne
She was just in from Texas didn't know her way around
So he tAook her to a roadhouse on the edge of town
There in the bEeer hall light Lord she looked real fine
It was tBhere he popped the question that was on his mind
It was a sEimple ceremony just a friend or two
The preacher Aasked if they do & they said they do
She bought the Etickets on her daddy's American Express
Bought the gBreyhound bus & Ea wedding dress

inst cho....
E (NC)
In a 6 dollar motel room with his honey bun
For 7 glorious days in the Nevada sun
He played the table she pumped the slots full of dimes
They came back broke but they had a good time
Now mEany fell apart in the years come & gone
But Big BAill and little angel they last on & on
They heEld together when the times looked real slim
Had a boy lBooked like her & a giArl looked like him
Cho....
Cho...
Inst Cho...
Cho...
Cho...
Inst Cho... to end.....
