Go Edna Mae, make him go away
Things ain't been good since that stranger's been in town
And tell me what do you see in a man as bad as he
He's so uncouth, I leave when he comes 'round
Some say he's after your money
Some say he's after your name
Some say he's after your body
Oh Edna Mae it's driving me insane
I know it can't be
That you care for him like me
'Cause when I gave you that fur coat you said you loved me
But it was goin' way to far
When you let him drive my car
And when I saw him in my new suit I went crazy
Some say he's after your money
Some say he's after your name
Some say he's after your body
Oh Edna Mae it's driving me insane
(instrumental)
Oh Edna Mae, you've been grinning the day, since you disappeared with him last Monday
Well it's Friday now, you're the talk of the town, is he getting what you promised me one day
Oh Edna Mae, all the years we've been engaged
I respected you so much I haven't touched you
Imagine then my shock when I heard the latest talk
You're gonna run off with that dirty, lowdown stranger
Some say he's after your money
Some say he's after your name
Some say he's after your body
Oh Edna Mae it's driving me insane
(What's that Edna Mae? Oh sure I'll carry your suitcase. Hey! that's my cadillac! But that ain't my airstream hitched on the back! Oh Edna Mae, Edna Mae...)
