The Oak Ridge Boys - Didn't She Really Thrill Them (Back In 1924) lyrics

She sit's there on her front porch
Every day at 4 o'clock
Waving at the traffic that runs
Up and down the block
Her face and hands are wrinkled and
Her grey hair almost shines
Over 50 years have come and gone
Since she was in her prime

A high school girl in blue
Jeans stops each Thursday afternoon
They talk about life and love
And phases of the moon
She lets the girl try on her gown
She's kept for all these years
She talks about when she was young
Her old eyes filled with tears

Didn't she really thrill them back in 1924
Young men fell in love with her
When she came through the door


Every dance was taken
Still they'd ask for just one more
Oh she stole their hearts away in 1924

She holds a photo album as she
Rocks there in her chair
Here's the men she almost married –
They all look so debonair
She remembers all the faces and
The night each one proposed
It makes her feel so young again
As her old eyes slowly close

The papers never said much when
The old maid passed away
For the man who drove the moving-van
It was just another day
The florist never understood when the
Young girl left the store
Just why she sent a wreath that
Said from the class of '24

Didn't she really thrill them back in 1924
Young men fell in love with her
When she came through the door
Every dance was taken
Still they'd ask for just one more
Oh she stole their hearts away in 1924

Didn't she really thrill them back in 1924
Young men fell in love with her
When she came through the door
Every dance was taken
Still they'd ask for just one more
Oh she stole their hearts away in 1924
