muriel since you left town the clubs closed down   and there's one more burned out lamppost down on the main street   down where we used to stroll   and muriel i still hit all the same old haunts   and you follow me wherever i go   and muriel i see you on a saturday night   in a penny arcade with your hair tied back   and the diamond twinkle in your eye   is the only wedding ring i'll buy you   muriel   and muriel how many times i've left this town   to hide from your memory   and it haunts me   but i only get as far as the next whiskey bar   i buy another cheap cigar and i'll see you every night   hey muriel muriel   hey buddy got a light
