Last night the willows stopped weeping 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 I sleep straight through to tomorrow And look for her till I go broke I found myself by the highway That I ride in on in my dreams I met her while I was hitchhiking From England to New Orleans She rode shotgun but staid 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 girlie round 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 that he'd show her the big time Said he would show he the best He stopped the car two miles down the road 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 girlie round I last saw her in New Orleans I can't find her now Anybody Has anybody seen my little girlie round 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, bring the past back again So maybe I can find her before heaven goes and hides her Hope can 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 And she was on the passenger side She had hold of the handle I said Rebecca don't go It's not what it seems I said Rebecca don't go It's not what it 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 away Six years or maybe eight 'Till I loose your memory 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 She got inside Waved good-bye And I watched the tail lights Dance like candle light And then they went out Good-bye, my sweetheart Good-bye, my sweetheart Anybody Has anybody seen my little girlie round I last saw her in New Orleans I can't find her now
