The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Angelyne

He was a bouncer at a joint called Tony's Body Shop

She was the night cashier at the Stop and Shop

He was kinda good lookin', she was kinda fun

Beneath that big oak tree, out where the river runs.

Little Angelyne, little Angelyne

As the sun goes down and the moonlight shines

Back of a Greyhound bus sat two lovers entwined

Just big Bill and 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, oh, she looked so 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 did and they said they do

She bought two tickets on her daddy's American Express

Hopped a Greyhound bus in her wedding dress.

Little Angelyne, little Angelyne

As the sun goes down and the moonlight shines

Back of a Greyhound bus sat two lovers entwined

Just big Bill and little Angelyne.

In a six dollar motel and with his honey bun

For seven glorious days in the Nevada sun

He played the tables, 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 and gone

But big Bill and little Angel they last on and on

Oh, they held together when the times grew thin

Had a boy that looked like her and a girl that looked like him.

Little Angelyne, little Angelyne

As the sun goes down and the moonlight shines

In the back of a Greyhound bus sat two lovers entwined

Just big Bill and little Angelyne.

Little Angelyne, little Angelyne

As the sun goes down and the moonlight shines

In the back of a Greyhound bus sat two lovers entwined

Just big Bill and little Angelyne.

Little Angelyne, little Angelyne

As the sun goes down and the moonlight shines

In the back of a Greyhound bus sat two lovers entwined

Just big Bill and little Angelyne.

Little Angelyne, little Angelyne

As the sun goes down and the moonlight shines

In the back of a Greyhound bus sat two lovers entwined

Just big Bill and little Angelyne.
