Rebecca Deville Lyrics

And everything sat hushed and still

And while my body lay sleeping

I dreamt of rebecca deville

Now I wonder if she was a real girl

Did she die when I woke

Well i'll sleep straight through to tomorrow

And look for her till I go broke

I found myself by the highway

That i ride in all my dreams

I met her while i was hitchhiking

From england to new orleans

She rode shotgun but stayed facing me

And I laid down in the back

I fell in love somewhere near illinois

And she said she loved me right back

Anybody

Has anybody seen my little girl around

I last saw her in new orleans

I can't find her now

I stepped into the nearest twilight bar

To ask if anyone knew

The whereabouts of my rebecca deville

The bartender said that he knew

He said that just a few weeks ago

She hitched a ride out west

With a man who said he'd show her the big time

Said he would show her the best

But he stopped the car two miles down the road

And he put a gun to her head

And raped her of all that she ever had

When rebecca was found she was dead

Anybody

Has anybody seen my little girl around

I last saw her in new orleans

I can't find her now

Anybody

Has anybody seen my little girl around

I last saw her in new orleans

I can't find her now

Anybody

Has anybody seen my little girl around

I last saw her in new orleans

I can't find her now

Low doesn't even begin

To describe the shape that i am in

But you can dream in both directions

And bring the past back again

So maybe i can find her

Before heaven goes and hides her

Hope and keep her from going

Away

Well i saw her again

It was a sunday evening

She had flagged a ride

It was a lincoln continental

She was on the passenger side

She had ahold of the handle

I said rebecca don't go

He's not what he seems

I said rebecca don't go

He's not what he seems

Take my word darling

And drop out of this dream

She said

He's going to

The big city

And i'm going too

You know how that is with me

I said stop

Don't you get in the car

Don't you get in the car

'cause i won't be coming back

If you get in the back

Don't you get in the car

Don't you get in the car

'cause i won't be coming back

If you get in the back

My sweetheart

My sweetheart

I will just stay awake

Six years or maybe eight

Till I lose your memory

And all that you've meant to me

'cause i can't stand to see this

I can't stand to see this

I can't stand to see this

Well she got inside

And waved goodbye

And i watched the tail lights

They danced like candle light

And then they went out

Goodbye

My sweetheart

Goodbye

My sweetheart

Anybody

Has anybody seen my little girl around

I last saw her in new orleans

I can't find her now
