I met her in a pool-room

7 7 7 -7 -6 6
Her name I did-n’t catch

4 4 4 -3 -3” -3 3

She looks like some-thing spe-cial

Sun-light on the li-no

Woke me with a shake

Good-bye girl

She took me to a motel
The room on the second floor
A kettle and two coffees
The number on the door
She said I hardly know you
Agreed we kissed goodnight
I knew that in the morning
Somehow I’d wake to find

Sunlight on the lino
Waken me with a shake
I looked around to find her
But she’d gone
Goodbye girl
Goodbye girl
Goodbye girl

I lost my silver razor
My clubroom locker keys
The money in the waistcoat
It doesn’t bother me
My wife has moved to Jersey
So mum is not the word
If you ever see her
Say hello Goodbye Girl

Sunlight on the lino
Woke me with a shake
I looked around to find her
But she’d gone
Goodbye girl
Goodbye girl
Goodbye girl
Goodbye girl
Goodbye girl
Goodbye girl
Goodbye girl
