17 Nov 01 - 11:10 AM (#594658) Subject: lyric request: 'Pauline', I think From: GUEST,Oldtimemusic Can anyone help me locate the lyrics to an old song (probably from the 1960's). I think the title was "Pauline". It wasn't much of a hit by whomever recorded it - but not being a hit hasn't stopped me before.... There are some lines in it which go: "I left Salt Lake City one summery dawn and rode into Reno the very next morn"... Here's some more,probably from a different verse: "...my heart skipped a beat, once or twice, maybe more; I can't recall when that happened before". chorus: "Pauline, Pauline, Prettiest girl that I ever have seen..." This song is driving me nuts. Thanks Tom |

PAULINE I left Salt Lake City one summery dawn and rode into Reno the very next morn. The first thing I noticed, and oh the surprise, was a raven haired miss with big emerald eyes. Pauline, Pauline, purdiest gall I ever have seen. Pauline, Pauline, someday I'll marry Pauline. I smiled as she passed, and she whispered hello, then all of a sudden I started to glow. My heart skipped a beat once or twice, maybe more, and I couldn't recall when that happened before. I planned to be leavin' the very next day. When dawn came I kissed her and went on my way. When I got to Gallup her kisses still burned, so I turned right around and I quickly returned to Pauline, Pauline, purdiest gall I ever have seen. Pauline, Pauline, someday I'll marry Pauline. I gave her my cattle and my yellow dog, my tall Shanghai rooster and my spotted hog. I gave her my pony, my new silver spurs. I gave her my heart, and she gave me hers. Pauline, Pauline, purdiest gall I ever have seen. Pauline, Pauline, someday I'll marry Pauline. |

That is the only place and time I heard it. Some of the lines have stuck with me but not the title, so I finally found it here. |
