Angelyne Written by Bruce Springsteen Performed by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band 1987 Transcribed by Dan Nicholas
intro.....A E B E A E B E
He was a bouncer at a Jungle Pony's bodyshop
She was a night cashier down at the stop & shop
He was kinda good lookin' she was kinda fun
Down 'neath that big 'ol tree out where the river runs
Cho.. Little Angelyne, little Angelyne
As the sun goes down & the moonlght shines
Back of the greyhound bus sat two lovers entwined
Just big Bill & little Angelyne
She was just in from Texas didn't know her way around
So he took her to a roadhouse on the edge of town
There in the beer hall light Lord she looked real fine
It was there he popped the question that was on his mind
It was a simple ceremony just a friend or two
The preacher asked if they do & they said they do
She bought the tickets on her daddy's American Express
Bought the greyhound bus & a wedding dress

E (NC) In a 6 dollar motel room with his honey bun For 7 glorious days in the Nevada sun He played the table she pumped the slots full of dimes They came back broke but they had a good time
Now many fell apart in the years come & gone
But Big Bill and little angel they last on & on
They held together when the times looked real slim
Had a boy looked like her & a girl looked like him
