Me and a Friend of mine, friend of mine, friend of mine Were riding through the rain Sizing up our circumstances Looking for the dame Nikolai, Nikolai, Nikolai Was a young hot-headed man One eye left of center And a pistol in his hand And we saw her standing there She was in her underwear Is it greed, or is it mercy Which will guide our hearts tonight? Well, Madeline, Madeline, Madeline Fell right into our trap We'll dress up like two women And we'll take her off the map And we saw her standing there She was in her underwear Is it greed or is it mercy Which will guide our hearts tonight? Oh, I left my lady from New Orleans Do words describe her, my beauty queen? Desperate measures for my Annabelle Money for doctors to make her well Didn't try didn't try didn't try To shoot her in the back! Niki lost his footing And his gun fell with a crack Annabelle, Annabelle, Annabelle Please do not despise me! I pulled back on that hammer And then I closed my eyes And we saw her standing there She was in her underwear Is it greed, is it mercy Which will guide our hearts tonight? I left my lady from New Orleans Do words describe her, my beauty queen? Desperate measures for my Annabelle Money for doctors to make her well
