Terry Allen - Death of the Last Stripper lyrics
[Terry Allen - Death of the Last Stripper lyrics]
She had a boy from some guy from Fresno
Where he is now, none of us know
She had a number on some paper in her purse
That was the number we tried first
Yeah, but nobody answered
Every time we tried
We're the only ones in the world
That even know she died
Gave her clothes to the Goodwill
Except for one pretty dress
Tried to make her face up
So she could look her best
Got carnations at the Safeway
But no roses there
Had no money for a preacher
So we tried to say a prayer
Nobody answered every time we tried
We're the only ones in the world
That even know she died
Yeah, they shut down the mill
Now there's no one around
She was the last stripper of
The last club in town
Can't say that I knew her
Can't say we were friends
But, I still try that number
Every now and then
Nobody answered every time we tried
We're the only ones in the world
That even know she died
We're the only ones in the world
That even know she died
Where he is now, none of us know
She had a number on some paper in her purse
That was the number we tried first
Yeah, but nobody answered
Every time we tried
We're the only ones in the world
That even know she died
Gave her clothes to the Goodwill
Except for one pretty dress
Tried to make her face up
So she could look her best
Got carnations at the Safeway
But no roses there
Had no money for a preacher
So we tried to say a prayer
Nobody answered every time we tried
We're the only ones in the world
That even know she died
Yeah, they shut down the mill
Now there's no one around
She was the last stripper of
The last club in town
Can't say that I knew her
Can't say we were friends
But, I still try that number
Every now and then
Nobody answered every time we tried
We're the only ones in the world
That even know she died
We're the only ones in the world
That even know she died
