Lyrics:

There was a girl in my hometown
They say she wore the sharpest crown
Beautiful as diamond tile
Never took her picture 'cause she never learned to smile

It's not surprisin'
There's nothin' excitin'
Late at night you'll hear the sound
They say she wore the sharpest crown

She felt a darkness deep inside
She went and asked her mama why
She got no answer just because
Her mama was a sleepin' or pretendin' that she was

It's not surprisin'
There's nothin' excitin'
I hope that she'll turn around
They say she wore the sharpest crown

Oh I loved her, don't ask how
Musta had some reasons that I can't remember now
Some folks say I let her down
But the same folks say she wore the sharpest

Dangerous, it tore the darkness
That held here like a ten ton harness
As I ran off for the farthest town
They say she wore the sharpest crown
