lyrics

Amorous advances
I left flowers by your door
You slapped me hard across the face
When I kissed you in the liquor store

Your sister saw us standing
That little bit too close
For months and months, we hid the truth
Never giving up the ghost

Sweet Edie
We were doomed right from the start
Though I never meant to hurt you
Never meant to break your heart

Yes, you were a dark horse
Turnin’ up on a Friday night
A little boozed and angry
Were you looking for a fight?

The uniform hid your shape
You’d hardly gained a pound
Punching tickets on the eighty-eight
While it went up and down
And round, round and round

Sweet Edie
We were never meant to be
We were never meant to happen
I couldn’t leave, I just couldn’t leave

The girls down at the depot
Knew something was going on
The morning sickness you couldn’t hide
That’s when everything went wrong

Sweet Edie
We were doomed right from the start
Though I never meant to hurt you
Never meant to break your heart
Sweet Edie
We were never meant to be
We were never meant to happen
I couldn’t leave my family

Is she mine is she mine is she mine?
It must’ve been so lonesome for you
Lonesome and blue
