(This is the Ballad of Lois Malone) I knew this ol' gal, down in south Alabama She was a sight to behold She drank like a fish, and cussed like a sailor She was a hell-raisin' soul Everyone knew Lois, wild Lois Lois could show you a time (aw what a time) Oh the good people said, she was not a Christian She was footloose and fancy free She was not a lady, but she was a woman And that's all that mattered to me Everyone knew Lois, wild-wild Lois Lois could show you a time (Lawd what a time) I miss her sometimes, even though she was crazy (ol' girl) She was good for my mind (yes she was) She called me "baby"... all night long! Proud to have known... Lois Malone! Last week I ran into, an ol' drinkin' buddy We swapped a story or two We drank one to a town, down in south Alabama One to an ol' gal we knew I said... here's one to Lois, wild Lois Here's one to all her kind... Lois Malone! (You know yours and I know mine!) She called me "baby"... all night long! I was proud to have known... Lois Malone!
