Mrs. Carter died in '42
Caught a case of the Gypsy Blues
I've heard stories about men without mothers
But I never did think it true
Late night, out chasing tail
Bobby befriended the Hennessy
Ran out into the middle of the street
And let out a wail of a plea (singin' now...)
Hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me
Violet Park was a merry-go-round
The whole town's had a ride
Just a pawn in this dirty game
How lonely she felt inside
Never had a good man
Never had a good friend by her side
Papa said it was her own damn fault
Felt guilty every time she cried (singing now)
Hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me
Late night at the bus stop,
With the rain drops crowding 'round
Bobby Carter and Violet Park,
Sittin' in the dark, on the edge of town.
Reading lonely like an open book,
It was fate without the charm.
All it took was one loving look,
And they were huddled in each others' arms
Hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me
