  • Music by elton john
  • Lyrics by bernie taupin
  • Available on the album blue moves
  • Now it was just like frankie and johnny
  • And it was just like stagger lee
  • Dolly summers was a simple girl
  • From a mid-west family
  • With a stucco home and her own mustang
  • And a charge account at sears
  • She had everything that a girl could want
  • To live happy for the rest of her years
  • But the thing that she wanted most of all
  • Was the thing that she had lost
  • To the arms of a downtown black jack hustler
  • By the name of candyfloss
  • Theyd slipped town on a late night train
  • Heading for the west
  • Dolly slipped behind the wheel of her mustang
  • With a piece between her breast
  • If it seemed just like a movie
  • Or a night of bad tv
  • They should have had a picture of dollys face
  • As she drove across the country
  • With daggers drawn for her fallen man
  • An venom in her heart
  • It was nearly dawn when she caught them up
  • Making out in a picnic park
  • But the thing that shook her rigid
  • As she fumbled for her gun
  • Was the state of the man that shed married once
  • And thought of as the only one
  • And as she looked back on the chances
  • That shed passed up at home
  • Well she quietly dumped pistol in a ditch
  • And she headed home alone
