lyrics

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
