Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Last Friday night, I took a walk
I bummed a light, I sat and listened to the talk
From what I heard, mum's ain't the word
She's back in town
[Verse 2]
Two soldier boys home from the war
Been making noise down at the ends of the bar
They said they seen her, she's lean and meaner
She's back in town
[Verse 3]
She travels light, she travels swift
Keeps out of sight 'cause she was born with a gift
She's one of those who comes and goes
She's back in town
[Verse 4]
Aye, when she's gone, I keep my head
I sleep alone in that ol' big, empty bed
I go to lengths to savе my strength
For when she's back in town
[Verse 5]
She's back in town, I bеt it all
Before the sun goes down, she's gonna give me a call
That says, "Hello, hey, whatcha know?"
She's back in town
[Verse 6]
She's back in town, sing, "Hallelujah"
This waiting 'round's been getting to ya
You start to think, yeah, I'm on a brink
And then she's back in town
