Nearly Marjorie

from Pure Delight by Red Jacket Mine

/

about

Our piano player, Dan, would've been named Marjorie if he'd been born a girl, but I guess some folks are just lucky. Others spend their whole lives trying to outrun what could've been.

lyrics

I burned a warpath through this town
When you left me on the ground
I went searchin’ for the piece of me I’d lost
But like Sherman on his ride
I felt only rage inside
And my only hope was beatin’ out the frost

I suppose I made it through
Honey, what else could I do?
I resolved I would pursue a life of sin
Since then there’s been so many women
Some I’d like to see again
But it was nearly Marjorie who did me in

Try and remember how this ends
Marjorie could never ever be your friend

That’s the mantra I repeat
As I shuffle down the street
I might seem aloof, but really I’m afraid
That I blew my only chance
At preserving true romance
Me and Marjorie, we nearly had it made

Now I’ll take anyone who’ll have me
I’m afraid that’s how it’s been
Since it was nearly Marjorie who did me
Had her singular way with me
Nearly Marjorie who did me in
