Purple Allie 02:34
She gotta woman livin’ way ‘cross town Goes to see her when she’s feelin’ down Just a couple hours an’ she feels tip top Only problem baby, she don’t ever wanna stop Purple Allie was the name, of this chick I lost my gal coz of Purple Allie’s tricks Now my baby got no time, time for me Always seems to have another place to be Every time I call her up on the telephone Her Mama says ‘call back, she ain’t home’ I even tried to buy my babe a diamond ring Allie came quick and she took that thing Purple Allie was her name, she took my dame Now I’m cryin’ at the moon like a wolverine Purple Allie She took my Sally Purple Allie got me runnin’ and screamin’ on down the line Allie’s a cheater, a dog-gone hound She took my gal when I looked around Dropped a dollar in the wishin’ well, what did I see? Allie just jumped up laughin’ at me Purple Allie got my gal, stuck on a hook Now I see that face wherever I look Purple Allie was her name, she took my dame Now I’m cryin’ at the moon like a wolverine Purple Allie She took my Sally Purple Allie got me runnin’ and screamin’ on down the line Now it took what little bit of strength I had Just to keep from going stark ravin’ mad I quit my job I moved out of town Far from that freak and that cheatin’ hound But still sometimes in the middle of a dream I think of that girl and I start to scream Purple Allie was her name, she took my dame Now I’m cryin’ at the moon like a wolverine Purple Allie She took my Sally Purple Allie got me runnin’ and screamin’ on down the line
