Faye And Albert by Bat McGrath Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Faye ran a bar
Down in Pulteney
And Albert was a singer in that bar
Men slapped Faye
On the fanny
Old Albert, well he'd just lightly brush her arm

And he’d walk on by just like he was a loner
But he sized her in the corner of his eye
Yodelay-hee-hee-hee, yodelay

[Verse 2]
The crowd was loud
By nine-thirty
And by nine-forty-five it was a full-scale brawl
And Faye turned down
Drunken passes

[Spoken:]
(Hey baby)
While Albert
Played his new song to the wall

‘Bout a mountain flower pеrched upon a barstool
And a magic thing that happened in a car

[Verse 3]
Fayе was pickin' up the tables
When Albert profiled by with his guitar
A-whacked his knee on the jukebox
Then Faye said she would help him to the car

And she reached down, an' took his hand, and gently coaxed him
And Albert smelled a wild mountain flower
Yodelay-hee-hee-hee, yodelay

[Verse 4]
The sun came up, you know I guess it was about five-thirty
When Albert raised his head from the back seat
A gentle moan broke the silence
And then Faye whispered, "Albert, how’s your knee?"

But Albert, he couldn't speak, he was daydreaming
‘Bout a magic thing that happened in a car
Yodelay-hee-hee-hee, yodelay
