Penny Annie Lyrics - Pilgrim/rain Rainbow - Larry Gatlin

Rag tag little girl with big blue eyes and golden hair 

Barely stands three feet above the ground 

Dancin' for a handout at the Crockett County Fair 

She cast a spell on everyone around 

Everybody called her Penny Annie 

She'd dance for a penny or for free 

If Annie had of been any older then 

I bet a penny I'd have taken Annie home with me 

Years went by and she became a legend at the fair 

Dancing for a penny or for free 

Then one year she didn't appear and no one knew just why 

And now the Crockett County Fair ain't what it used to be 

Then one night I saw her name on the flashing neon sign 

Sayin' Penny Annie dancin' just for you 

She was showin' off her womanhood doin' the bump and grind 

And I can't say that I enjoyed the view 

Now she works lyin' on her back dancin' to a different tune 

Doin' one hour stands with any man she finds 

She shoots away the pain but then it comes again too soon 

She's payin' the fiddler who's been fiddlin' with her mind, her body and mind 

Didn't anybody ever tell you Annie, if you dance you pay the man who plays the tune 

The dancin' is fun but when the dancin's done 

Sometimes you find you're dancin' with every devil in the room
