Muriel since you left town the clubs closed down
and there´s one more burned out lamppost down on the main street
down where we used to stroll
and muriel i still hit all the same old haunts
and you follow me wherever i go
and muriel i see you on a saturday night
in a penny arcade with your hair tied back
and the diamond twinkle in your eye
is the only wedding ring i´ll buy you
muriel

and muriel how many times i´ve left this town
to hide from your memory
and it haunts me
but i only get as far as the next whiskey bar
i buy another cheap cigar and i´ll see you every night
hey muriel muriel
hey buddy got a light
