(Nanci Griffith) | |
She owned a hotel on the Jersey shore | |
She made her living sending sailors door to door | |
He was the small one with a crooked smile | |
Oh, he made her eyes light up like the heavens on the fourth of July | |
She ran the numbers they say she ran 'em clean | |
Those porcelain hands could keep a ledger even in her sleep | |
While he worked the Seabees in the Philippines | |
They say she made more money than you or I will ever see | |
Chorus | |
Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore | |
If you were looking for love, boys, you could've found it in forty-four | |
cause love wore a halo back before the war | |
When the men loved the women and the women knew what men were for | |
It was in the winter when he came home | |
He had to hold those porcelain hands just to keep her warm | |
So, they had a daughter they named her Stephanie Anne | |
Hey, they sent her off to Vassar to find herself a family man | |
Chorus | |
Now, she sold the hotel it belongs to me | |
I watch those sailors come and go like the waves in the seas | |
I've hung their portraits in the honeyoon suite | |
I hear they're fishin' their lives away in the Florida Keys | |
Chorus |
