nadine - big harp lyrics

Loading...

she went off to california
like in every other song
every cautionary tale
’bout a pretty little blonde

she bought a twenty dollar ticket
on the c&nw line
but she didn’t go with sidewalk stars
a*dancing in her mind

and she didn’t go with dream
of being hung up on the wall
as every lonely sailor’s pretty
posing pinup doll

she went off to california
but she didn’t stay for long
it was just after the war
and her man had done her wrong

well her man back in dakota
was a banty little gent
with ‘i love you’ on his tongue
and eyes that said just what he meant
he had looks and charm to spare
he had a dozen little pets
and he’d draw ’em in and puff ’em out
like cheapie cigarettes

she was seventeen years old
when she fell into his arms
she was barely over running ’round
barefoot on the farm

but he shoed her pretty feet
and he drove her into town
where they chased their gray dakota blues
and stomped them to the ground

they say
long arms keep a loose hold
and everybody knows

and if
clear skies are coming
still the wind may blow
you can never be sure

well the settled down in verdun
and they bought a little house
and they tried to have a baby
but they couldn’t work it out
so he started going drinking
started sl!cking back his hair
saying “babe, you know i love you
but i need a little air”

oh, well she knew what he was doing
and she knew she’d been a fool
should have listened to her mama
when she told her love was cruel

but she wasn’t one for crying
went and p*wned a pair of shoes
and came walking home barefoot
with a pearl*grip .22

wearing a white dress she went
creeping through the cane
outside the soldier’s addition
in the rain

waiting for him to stagger home
with some new soup*du*jour
he was looking to get laid and
man she laid him down for sure

oh, she went off to california
like in every other song
with a new stain on her dress
and a man lying on the lawn
he was lying there and cussing her
and clutching at his leg
while she was waiting at the station
on a california train
