Lyrics

Harry and Penny
By Scott/Kline

V1
Handsome Harry, he can't stay home.
He's packed his things and he's moving on.
There's too much gossip in this one-horse town.
Harry ain't gonna stick around.
Handsome Harry's going underground.
Pretty Penny just sits inside.
Pretty Penny hung her head and cried.
The speculation is going wild
Pretty Penny carries Harry's child.

Refrain
A heart that's yearning, a fire left burning.
True love is so hard to find.
Would it be Harry that she might marry,
And hold her tight when it's the last time.

V2
Well now, Handsome Harry, he's a lady's man, you know,
He takes advantage every chance he can.
He always slips away just in time.
No, Harry ain't the "settlin-down" kind.
But the men in town, they're gonna change his mind.
The posse finally tracked Harry down
And a shotgun wedding was held back in town.
Harry promised he would never lie
He'd stay with Pretty Penny till the day he died.

Refrain
A heart that's yearning, a fire left burning.
True love is so hard to find.
When he's had many, would it be Penny,
To hold him tight when it's the last time.

V3
Well, a few months later that child was born
And there lay the perfect picture, torn.
The baby's skin was not of Harry's shade
And the town realized the mistake they made.
But true to his word, Harry stayed.
Now many years have come and gone
But the memories still linger on.
Many men did Pretty Penny bed,
Handsome Harry was with whom she wed.
And on the day Handsome Harry died
Pretty Penny held him tight and cried.

Refrain
A heart that's yearning, (sing a song) a fire left burning (sing along).
True love is so hard to find (sing like it's the last time).
Be a friend to me, I need a friend to be close at hand,
When it's the last time.

Sing a song with me, sing along with me.
Sing it loud like it's the last time.
Be a friend to me, I need a friend to be close at hand,
When it's the last time.
