Lyrics:
She had a boy from some guy from Fresno
Where he is now, none of us know
She had a number on some paper in her purse
That was the number we tried first
Yeah, but nobody answered
Every time we tried
We're the only ones in the world
That even know she died
Gave her clothes to the Goodwill, except for one pretty dress
Tried to make her face up, so she could look her best
Got carnations at the Safeway, but no roses there
Had no money for a preacher, so we tried to say a prayer
Nobody answered
Every time we tried
We're the only ones in the world
That even know she died
Yeah, they shut down the mill; now there's no one around
She was the last stripper of the last club in town
Can't say that I knew her, can't say we were friends
But I still try that number every now and then
Nobody answered
Every time we tried
We're the only ones in the world
That even know she died
We're the only ones in the world
That even know she died
