BALLAD OF RONNIE, THE
(Roy Stanley)


Alicia Adams - 1960





Cathy and I were walking by the drug store
Saw a boy there I didn't know
I said to Cathy, "Gee! I'd like to meet him"
So we went over to say hello

He was new in town, his name was Ronnie
He was the boy that I'd been dreaming of
I smiled at him and got a funny feelin'
Ronnie smiled back and I fell in love

Night after night Ronnie came to my house
Then one night he told me goodbye
He was leaving, goin' in the Service
I didn't let Ronnie see me cry

Saved all the letters Ronnie ever wrote me
When I was lonely, I read them through
Then came the day Ronnie didn't write me
I should've found somebody new

One night I heard the doorbell ring
Opened up the door, surprised as I could be
Ronnie kissed me like I'd always dreamed of
Ronnie came back 'cause he loved me

Ooh-ooh Ronnie
He loves me
Ooh-ooh........FADE
