Don't Tell Nell

Annie there's a man with a big gun
Sitting outside in the pouring rain
I hope he ain't looking for Levis
That boy's in trouble
And he's missing again yes he is
I heard he's chasing every woman in sight
Bound to end up in some kind of fight
He's going nowhere 'cept for going to Hell
Gotta find him quick but Annie "Don't tell Nell"
I've been up, I been cleaning
I been working since the break of day
Big movie star came visit with me
Hear what I had to say
I told him "Levis gone missing, that's true
I got no time for drinking whiskey with you
I know you're famous", he said "I smell Chanel"
I said "I clean forgot your name but Don't tell Nell
Drink it up, drink it up, time to get on outta here
You all got homes
So pack up your bones and dry your tears
I'll get the man with the gun If y'all don't move
Make way! . . . make way
Old lady coming through
Don't be like Levis shaking my bell
I'll give you last drink on the house but
Don't tell Nell
In later years, when Jula'd reminisce
About her movie star man
She sang "his eyes were blacker than coal"
And when he looked deep into her soul
She swore he said
"Jula . . . I think I love you baby
Yes I do . . it's me and you
Forever!
So won't you come on away with me
Across the sea" that's what he said
"We'll have a wonderful life
We can finally be free
You and me together babe
We'll be the toast of the town
We'll sit and watch the sun going down
You'll be the Belle of that
Ballydehollywood Ball
But you can't bring Levis
And you can't bring Nell at all"
That was harsh
And it broke (poor) Jula's heart
In several places I might add
She was never quite the same
He got the fortune
And the fame
Big surprise
Meanwhile
Back in the real world
Annie's running back
Shouting "Everything's okay
Levis like a true gent
Dining with the President and
She said she's happy to pay
Man with the gun gonna
Shoot him if he moves wrong
Joey's on the guitar with a
Wild Atlantic Blues song
Danno's in the kitchen
Cooking up a spell
Come on over later Jula
Don't tell Nell"
Drink it up, drink it up
Time to get on outta here
You all got homes
So pack up your bones and dry your tears
I'll get the man with the gun If y'all don't move
Make way! . . . make way!
Jula coming through
Don't be like Levis
Shaking my bell, I'll give you
Last drink on the house but
'Don't tell Nell
