(1)there once was a woman a strange kind of woman
(2)i loved her everybody loved her
(3)she looked like a raver but i could never please her
(4)she finally said she loved me i wed her in a hurry
   A               E7+10           B
the kind that gets written down in history
she loved everyone and gave a good return
on wednesday mornings boy you cant go far
no more callers and i glowed with pride
         B
her name was nancy her face was nothing fancy
i tried to take her i evn tried to break her
i couldnt get her but thing got the better she siad
im dreaming i feel like screaming
   A               E7+10           B
she left a trail of happiness and misery
she said i aint for taking wont you ever learn
saturday night from now on baby your my star
i won my woman just before she died
chorus
