Verse 2:

Belle Parker was her name
She'd walk the town,
with a drink or two and the southern night
Louisiana sunshine,
Mississippi rain
And if I ever needed anyone to blame...
(Chorus)
(Instrumental Verse)
She'd love to talk, and I'd let her,
Belle Parker was her name
She'd come around again, and again, and again
I'm waiting for the sunshine
And sitting through the rain
And If I ever needed anyone to blame...
