Arlene

Arlene, I'm sorry for what I've done

I wasn't looking for love till I saw

Your red hair in the sun

What we had, could never be love

That was easy to see

But when I saw you at Red's

Pouring coffee

Something took a hold of me

Arlene, you wouldn't even let me

Hold your hand

When I stopped you in the road

You just screamed and ran

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 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

Oh, Arlene, in the dark

Your hair's just as red

And this long, dark cave

Will always be our wedding bed

Oh, Arlene, in the dark

Your hair's just as red

And this long, dark cave

Will always be our wedding bed
