Royal Annie

歌詞

She wore a big yellow bow in her hair one morning we woke up she was there We were a little old out of way town and all us kids were glad to have her around You know her castle was an old mobile home she didn't even have a cellular phone She lived on cigarettes and cookies and tea and said she once had a show on TV And all us kids around town called her Royal Annie She talked to babies who had never been born Said she had dresses that she never had worn She had sweethearts who came out of the air and said she had a lock of Elvis' hair She pushed an old shopping cart around town She wore sneakers and an old satin gown She wore diamonds and we knew they were fake Said she once gave Dolly Parton a break And all us kids around town called her Royal Annie She'd sit and stare at the bright morning sun We were suspicious that she carried a gun They once considered puttin' Annie in jail she never ever went to pick up her mail Then one day there was a big limousine came to town and caused a terrible scene A bunch of doctors and lawyers they say and they came to take Annie away And all us kids around town called her Royal Annie When Royal Annie was gone I recall they had a meeting at a community hall They wrote a letter and were tryin' to say they hoped that Annie had enjoyed her stay Well they'd been looking for her over a year They were surprised to find her living out here And Royal Annie sent a small note of thanks and she had 10 million bucks in the bank And all us kids around town called her Royal Annie All us kids around town called her Royal Annie
