Little Angelyne, little Angelyne E As the sun goes down & the moonlght shines B Back of the greyhound bus sat two lovers entwined E Just big Bill & little Angelyne She was just in from Texas didn't know her way around A So he took her to a roadhouse on the edge of town E There in the beer hall light Lord she looked real fine B It was there he popped the question that was on his mind E It was a simple ceremony just a friend or two A The preacher asked if they do & they said they do E She bought the tickets on her daddy's American Express B E Bought the greyhound bus & a wedding dress Cho.... inst verse.... inst cho....
