April Anne Lyrics by John Phillips

John Phillips (John, the Wolf King of L.A.) (2006 Reissue)

0

April Anne with the red bandanna round her head
Pretty Anne with the peacock-feathered fan said
That the sash around her waist had turned to lead
And her jingle-jagged faggot friend was dead
And the wine he spilled, it stained her pillow red
And the Midnight Cowboys came and quickly fled
Oh the whole thing was bringing her down
Lady Anne, we danced the fandango on your bed
Anne, the Gypsy woman once said:
"Let an Easy Rider share your bed"
But you chose the drunken gigolo instead
How were you to know he was ill-bred?
Then you sighed and cried and hung your head and said
That the whole thing was bringing you down
April Anne with the red bandanna round her head
Pretty Anne with the peacock feathered fan said
That the sash around her waist had turned to lead
And her jingle-jagged faggot friend was dead
And the Midnight Cowboys came and quickly fled
Oh the wine he spilled, it stained her pillow red
And she let an Easy Rider share her bed
But she chose the drunken gigolo instead
(...bandana 'round her head...)
(...danced the fandango on her bed...)
(...spilled the wine and stained the bed...)
