***INTRO: He was a bouncer at a Jungle Pony's bodyshop She was a night cashier down at the stop & shop He was kinda good lookin' she was kinda fun Down 'neath that big 'ol tree out where the river runs Cho.. Little Angelyne, little Angelyne As the sun goes down & the moonlght shines Back of the greyhound bus sat two lovers entwined Just big Bill & little Angelyne She was just in from Texas didn't know her way around So he took her to a roadhouse on the edge of town There in the beer hall light Lord she looked real fine It was there he popped the question that was on his mind It was a simple ceremony just a friend or two The preacher asked if they do & they said they do She bought the tickets on her daddy's American Express Bought the greyhound bus & a wedding dress Cho.... inst verse.... inst cho.... E (no chord) In a 6 dollar motel room with his honey bun For 7 glorious days in the Nevada sun He played the table she pumped the slots full of dimes They came back broke but they had a good time Now many fell apart in the years come & gone But Big Bill and little angel they last on & on They held together when the times looked real slim Had a boy looked like her & a girl looked like him Cho.... Cho... Inst Cho... Cho... Cho... Inst Cho... to end.....
