Arlene Lyrics

Arlene
From the album Odessa
Arlene, I'm sorry for what I done,
I wasn't looking for love 'til I saw your red hair in the sun
What we had could ne'er be love, that was easy to see,
But when I saw you in Red's pouring coffee, something took a-hold of me
Oh-wo-oo-oh, Arlene, you wouldn't even let me hold your hand
When I stopped you in the road, you just screamed and ran
Oh-wo-oo-oh, Arlene, you wouldn't even let me hold your hand
When I stopped you in the road, you just screamed and ran
That night, I decided that I was gonna marry you
My knife went through your screen door and I went away with you
You were singing, "Please let me go," all the way down to Miller's Cave
When I picked a stick up off the ground, you cried, "I ain't ready for my grave!"
But, Arlene, in the dark, your hair's just as red,
And this long, dark cave will always be our wedding bed
But, Arlene, in the dark, your hair's just as red,
And this long, dark cave will always be our wedding bed
