Sorry - didn't realise I wasn't signed in…

I've been thinking about Florence King's book Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady - not a book to read on a bus, or on a train, if you don't want the other passengers to call for the men in the white coats to take away the unfortunate person howling with mad laughter.

One of her stories in it concerns a local policeman wrenching open the door of the car in which she's courting as a teenager - she falls out, pulling up her knickers, and he shakes his head and says sorrowfully: "Fallen and forgotten, without a good man's name…" and she automatically finished it "She dreams of Indiana, as she walks the streets of shame."

But what song is this from? Thought I'd find it in the cattery, but no sign. I even thought I might've asked before, but no.
