Ophelia Comes to Town

[Verse 1]
Blue suit pressed and my boots’ been shined
Bar been stocked and my tab is signed
Shirt is starched and my watch’s been wound
Oh Lord I feel good when Ophelia comes to town

[Verse 2]
Beard been shaved and my hair been cropped
Counter in the corner full of wine been topped
Waitin’ by the window as I pull me around
Lord I feel good when Ophelia comes to town

[Chorus]
I swear to the moon hanging up in the east
She’ll be the beauty and I’ll be the beast
Her last letter said she’s Reno bound
Oh Lord iI feel good when Ophelia comes to town

[Verse 3]
When she walks in she gonna kick off her boots
And we’re gonna be right down in cahoots
The candle’s all lit and the curtains’ drawn
Locomotion till the break of dawn

[Verse 4]
She rolls in high
She’s comin in hot from old Provo
I got the gramophone going and the needle turned down
Lord I feel good when Ophelia comes to town

[Chorus]
I swear to the moon hanging up in the west
My heart’s gonna leap right out of my chest
Hang so high I may never come down
Oh Lord I feel good when Ophelia comes to town

[Chorus]
I swear to the moon hanging up in the west
My heart’s gonna leap right out of my chest
Hang so high I may never come down
Oh Lord I feel good when Ophelia comes to town

[Verse 5]
I hear the door knocking about ten past ten
Opened up said can I help you friend
He handed me a letter the words are red
Said as of this morning Ms. Ophelia’s dead
