Penny Annie - Larry Gatlin

作词：Larry Gatlin

作曲：Larry Gatlin

Rag tag little girl with big blue eyes and golden hair

Barely stands three feet above the ground

Dancin' for a handout at the Crockett County Fair

She cast a spell on everyone around

Everybody called her Penny Annie

She'd dance for a penny or for free

If Annie had of been any older then

I bet a penny I'd have taken Annie home with me

Years went by and she became a legend at the fair

Dancing for a penny or for free

Then one year she didn't appear and no one knew just why

And now the Crockett County Fair ain't what it used to be

Then one night I saw her name on the flashing neon sign

Sayin' Penny Annie dancin' just for you

She was showin' off her womanhood doin' the bump and grind

And I can't say that I enjoyed the view

Now she works lyin' on her back dancin' to a different tune

Doin' one hour stands with any man she finds

She shoots away the pain but then it comes again too soon

She's payin' the fiddler who's been fiddlin' with her mind

Her body and mind

Didn't anybody ever tell you Annie

If you dance you pay the man who plays the tune

The dancin' is fun but when the dancin's done

Sometimes you find you're dancin' with every devil in the room

Everybody called her Penny Annie

She'd dance for a penny or for free

If Annie had of been any older then

I bet a penny I'd have taken Annie home with me

Dear God I wish that I'd have taken Annie home with me

With me
