Me and a....
Friend of mine, friend of mine, friend of mine,
Were riding through the rain
Sizing up our circumstances,
Looking for the dame.
Nikolai, Nikolai, Nikolai
Was a young hot-headed man
One eye left of center
And a pistol in his hand.
And we saw her standing there.
She was in her underwear.
Is it greed, or is it mercy
Which will guide our hearts tonight?
Well, Madeline, Madeline, Madeline
Fell right into our trap.
We'll dress up like two women
And we'll take her off the map.
And we saw her standing there.
She was in her underwear.
Is it greed or is it mercy
Which will guide our hearts tonight?
Oh... I left my lady from New Orleans
Do words describe her, my beauty queen?
Desperate measures for my Annabelle,
Money for doctors to make her well.
Didn't try didn't try didn't try
To shoot her in the back!
Niki lost his footing
And his gun fell with a crack.
Annabelle, Annabelle, Annabelle
please do not despise me!
I pulled back on that hammer
and then I closed my eyes.
And we saw her standing there.
She was in her underwear.
Is it greed, is it mercy
Which will guide our hearts tonight?
I left my lady from New Orleans.
Do words describe her, my beauty queen?
Desperate measures for my Annabelle,
Money for doctors to make her well.
