She was a tall blue eyed blonde from Georgia

She worked the bar at "Charlie's" off of Lexington Avenue in Grand Central station in New York City

The easy part for me was the stairway to the lower tier  for the subway

I had been stopping off there about three weeks before she struck up a conversation with me

It looks like rain she said in her southern drawl

She must have noticed me looking at her for the past three weeks

How could I not, she was gorgeous

Our relationship grew from there and we dated

I loved to take her to the Cafe Pierre on fifth avenue

They had a piano bar there and the music was dark and mellow

It was easy to catch a cab there to where she lived on Downing street

Even though we had a lot to drink we were both able to come to a climax

I actually proposed to her, I was saving my money for her diamond

And I wanted it to be a gorgeous diamond ring

Then came that horrible night as we were leaving "Charlie's" at seven

I heard the shanty yell out "she is mine" as he pulled out a 22, or 32

I could not tell the difference, she turned her back to him and faced me

Then I heard the shot and my life was in torment again

What a way to have to live out my life

I hate living like this

I am pissed, I am angry, I am heartbroken
