Goodbye Girl

                                  I met her in a poolroom

Her name I didn't catch

She looks like something special

The kind who'd understand

The room was almost spinning

She pulled another smile

She had the grace like pleasure

She had a certain style



Sunlight on the lino

Woke me with a shake

I looked around to find her but she'd gone

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl



She took me to a motel

A room on the second floor

A kettle and two coffees

A number on the door

She said I hardly know you

Agreed we kissed goodnight

I knew that in the morning

Somehow I'd wake to find



Sunlight on the lino

Wakening me with a shake

I looked around to find her but she'd gone

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl



I lost my silver bracelet

My clubroom locker keys

The money in the billfold

It doesn't bother me

My wife has moved to Boston

So mud is not the word

If you ever see her

Say hello goodbye girl



Sunlight on the lino

Woke me with a shake

I looked around to find her but she'd gone

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl
