Ah Wanna Tell Ya 'bout A Girl

You Know, She Lives In Room 29

Why... Why... That's The One Right Up Top A Mine

Ah Start To Cry, Ah Start To Cry



O Ah Hear Her Walkin'

Walkin' Barefoot Cross The Floor-boards

All Thru This Lonesome Night

Ah Hear Her Crying Too.

Hot-tears Come Splashin On Down

Leaking Thru The Cracks,

Down Upon My Face, Ah Catch'em In My Mouth!

Ah Catch'em In My Mouth!

Ah Catch'em In My Mouth!

Walk'n'cry Walk'n'cry-y!!!



From Her To Eternity!

From Her To Eternity!

From Her To Eternity!



Ah Read Her Diary On Her Sheets

Scrutinizin' Every Lil Bit Of Dirt

Tore Out A Page'n'stufft It Inside My Shirt

Fled Outa The Window,

And Shinning It Down The Vine

Outa Her Night-mare, And Back Into Mine

Mine! O Mine!



From Her To Eternity!

From Her To Eternity!

From Her To Eternity!

Cry! Cry! CRY!



She's Wearing Them Bloo-stockens, Ah Bet!

And Standin' Like This With My Ear To The Ceiling

Listen, Ah Know It Must Sound Absurd

But Ah Can Hear The Most Melancholy Sound

Ah Ever Heard!

Walk'n'cry! Kneel'n'cry-y!



From Her To Eternity!

From Her To Eternity!



O Tell Me Why? O Tell Me Why?

Oh Why? Why? Why?

O Tell Me Why And Don't Tell Me A Lie!

Why The Ceiling Still Shakes? Shakes! Shakes! Shakes!

Why The Fixtures Turn To Serpents And Snakes?



This Desire To Possess Her Is A Wound

And Its Naggin At Me Like A Shrew

But, Ah Know, That To Possess Her

Is, Therefore, Not To Desire Her.



O O O Then Ya Know, That Lil Girl Would Just Have To Go!

Go! Go-o-o! From Her To Eternity!



From Her To Eternity! [Repeat]
