New Riders Of The Purple Sage - Annie May lyrics

Thomas Annie May, she lives down by the station You might say that she's a friend of mine No, I don't mean for drinks and conversation When you're lonely, that's a waste of time You just call and say you'll be over You've got just a minute or two By the time you're hangin with her She knows what to do Annie May, Annie May Anything you want to ask for, that's OK And if nothing else comes your way You can always depend on Annie May Now Annie May was born in Alabama She nearly made it through the seventh grade She had a baby and left it with her grandma Hitched a ride up Indiana way She got taught to love in a truck stop Near to Kalamazoo By the time she made Chicago She knew a thing or two Annie May, Annie May She never learned to give a damn what people say Some folks call her crackers Some folks call her trash Others swear she's a working girl With a stocking full of cash Now she's not quite a lady Ladies come and go But as long as she's taking care of me I don't need to know Now Annie May, don't ask me if I love her But in a way, well I suppose I do She's not the kind you'd bring home to meet your mother But in time she kind of grows on you You don't find her cooking and cleaning And washing cars in the street Whenever I get lonely She's knows what I need Annie May, Annie May Anything you want to ask for, that's OK And if nothing else comes your way You can always depend on Annie May
