Royal Annie Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

She wore a big yellow bow in her hair one morning we woke up she was there 

We were a little old out of way town and all us kids were glad to have her around 

You know her castle was an old mobile home she didn't even have a cellular phone 

She lived on cigarettes and cookies and tea and said she once had a show on TV 

And all us kids around town called her Royal Annie 

She talked to babies who had never been born 

Said she had dresses that she never had worn 

She had sweethearts who came out of the air and said she had a lock of Elvis' hair 

She pushed an old shopping cart around town 

She wore sneakers and an old satin gown 

She wore diamonds and we knew they were fake 

Said she once gave Dolly Parton a break 

And all us kids around town called her Royal Annie

She'd sit and stare at the bright morning sun 

We were suspicious that she carried a gun 

They once considered puttin' Annie in jail she never ever went to pick up her mail 

Then one day there was a big limousine came to town and caused a terrible scene 

A bunch of doctors and lawyers they say and they came to take Annie away 

And all us kids around town called her Royal Annie 

When Royal Annie was gone I recall they had a meeting at a community hall 

They wrote a letter and were tryin' to say they hoped that Annie had enjoyed her stay 

Well they'd been looking for her over a year 

They were surprised to find her living out here 

And Royal Annie sent a small note of thanks and she had 10 million bucks in the bank 

And all us kids around town called her Royal Annie 

All us kids around town called her Royal Annie
