When Ophelia Comes to Town

Blue suit pressed and my boots been shined
Bar been stocked and my tab been signed
Shirt been starched and my watch been wound
Lord it feel good when Ophelia come to town

My beard been shaved and my hair been cropped
Canter in the corner full of white bed talk
Waitin' by the window as I pour me a round
Lord it feel good when Ophelia come to town

I swear to the moon hangin' up in the east
She'll be the beauty and I'll be the beast
Her last letter said she's Reno bound
Lord it feel good when Ophelia come to town

She walks in she gonna kick off her boots
And we gonna be right down in cahoots
The candle's all lit and the curtains drawn
No commotion 'til the break of dawn

She knows that I'm in room 130
She's comin' in high from old Provo
I got the gramophone goin' and the needle turned down
Lord it feel good when Ophelia come to town

I swear to the moon hangin' up in the west
My heart's gonna leap right out of my chest
It hangs so high I may never come down
Lord it feel good when Ophelia come to town

I swear to the moon hangin' up in the west
My heart's gonna leap right out of my chest
It hangs so high I may never come down
Lord it feel good when Ophelia come to town

I hear the door knockin' 'bout ten past ten
I opened up said can I help you friend
He handed me a letter with words that read
As of this morning Miss Ophelia's dead
