Rebecca DeVille

Last night the willows stopped weeping
 And everything sat hushed and still
 And while my body lay sleeping
 I dreamt of rebecca deville
 Now I wonder if she was a real girl
 Did she die when I woke
 Well i'll sleep straight through to tomorrow
 And look for her till I go broke
 I found myself by the highway
 That i ride in all my dreams
 I met her while i was hitchhiking
 From england to new orleans
 She rode shotgun but stayed facing me
 And I laid down in the back
 I fell in love somewhere near illinois
 And she said she loved me right back
 Anybody
 Has anybody seen my little girl around
 I last saw her in new orleans
 I can't find her now
 I stepped into the nearest twilight bar
 To ask if anyone knew
 The whereabouts of my rebecca deville
 The bartender said that he knew
 He said that just a few weeks ago
 She hitched a ride out west
 With a man who said he'd show her the big time
 Said he would show her the best
 But he stopped the car two miles down the road
 And he put a gun to her head
 And raped her of all that she ever had
 When rebecca was found she was dead
 Anybody
 Has anybody seen my little girl around
 I last saw her in new orleans
 I can't find her now
 Anybody
 Has anybody seen my little girl around
 I last saw her in new orleans
 I can't find her now
 Anybody
 Has anybody seen my little girl around
 I last saw her in new orleans
 I can't find her now
 Low doesn't even begin
 To describe the shape that i am in
 But you can dream in both directions
 And bring the past back again
 So maybe i can find her
 Before heaven goes and hides her
 Hope and keep her from going
 Away
 Well i saw her again
 It was a sunday evening
 She had flagged a ride
 It was a lincoln continental
 She was on the passenger side
 She had ahold of the handle
 I said rebecca don't go
 He's not what he seems
 I said rebecca don't go
 He's not what he seems
 Take my word darling
 And drop out of this dream
 She said
 He's going to
 The big city
 And i'm going too
 You know how that is with me
 I said stop
 Don't you get in the car
 Don't you get in the car
 'cause i won't be coming back
 If you get in the back
 Don't you get in the car
 Don't you get in the car
 'cause i won't be coming back
 If you get in the back
 My sweetheart
 My sweetheart
 I will just stay awake
 Six years or maybe eight
 Till I lose your memory
 And all that you've meant to me
 'cause i can't stand to see this
 I can't stand to see this
 I can't stand to see this
 Well she got inside
 And waved goodbye
 And i watched the tail lights
 They danced like candle light
 And then they went out
 Goodbye
 My sweetheart
 Goodbye
 My sweetheart
 Anybody
 Has anybody seen my little girl around
 I last saw her in new orleans
 I can't find her now
