lyrics

THE MURDER OF THE MALLEE GIRL
by Van Walker

Walking on the street, a lit cigarette in her hand
Nobody saw em leave, now I fell bad, bad,bad
He must have saw her in his headlights
As she was walking on the road
He robbed her of her young life
And left it wrapped up in her coat

She was a friend of Mark & Suze
Her boyfriend came from outta town
I'd never talked to her before, its true
But I'd sure noticed her around
Supple, tall & lean with a naughty little grin
He looked more shy than he looked mean
And you were way too good for him

It wasn't hard to choose from all those girls
There at that dance
I might have fell in love with you
When you took me by the hand
I should have left you alone
You had a boyfriend I could see
I should have offered you a lift home
He should have took it out on me

They argued in the car as he dropped her on the road
Then he went and hit a bar as she started walking home
He only left the bar when he was fully drunk
He ran her over in his car & threw her body in the trunk

Walking in a glade
The cops were digging with their hands
They found an unmarked grave only inches from a path
Hidden from the sunshine
The bones had crumbled into dust
It was only the one time ... one time too much

Ooh wee I had been dancing all night
With another man's woman but he said it's alright
Ooh ooh & it sure was strange
The day after the dance the girl suddenly went away
