Said I come from Henry
For Elizabeth Lee
She was a black haired beauty
That made a fool of me
While I was breaking my back
Down at the Pittsburgh steel
I turned a river of fire
Into an automobile
Ah
♪
I said now don't worry baby
I'll buy the clothes that you need
Oh man she liked to party
On my booze and weed
Ah ah oh
Ah ah oh
♪
I go to work each morning
Pack my lunch in a bag
I felt trouble was building
Just like a mountain of slag
Yeah
One day I came home early
I found a man on my couch
He had my bottle of gin
And his tongue in her mouth
Ah ah oh
Ah ah oh yeah
♪
I reached my hand in my pocket
The cold steel of my knife
I felt the blood in my veins
Yeah it was turning into ice
Hmm Hmm Hmm
Sometimes things will happen
You can blame it on fate
Point the finger at the devil
All the same it's too late
Ah ah oh
Ah ah oh
Ah ah oh
♪
Then I pulled out the keys
To my Coupe De Ville
The only thing in this world
That ever give ma a thrill
Ah
I had my foot to the floor
I had my head in a fog
There was Elizabeth Lee
I ran her down like a dog
Ah ah oh
Ah ah oh
Ah ah oh
Ah ah oh
