When'd you get here? Ninteteen-Twenty How old were you? Don't remember Then what happened? I met Amos N.C. And he stole my heart away Convinced me to elope one day Interlude "Oh you poor dear I can't believe what you have been through A convent girl! A run-away marriage! Now tell us roxie..." verse 2 Who's Fred Casely? My ex-boyfriend. Why'd you shoot him? I was leavin'. Was he angry? Like a madman N.C. Still I said, "Fred, move along." She knew that she was doin' wrong. Then describe it. He came toward me. With the pistol? From my bureau. Did you fight him? Like a tiger. N.C. He had strength and she had none.
