Royal Annie
She wore a big yellow bow in her hair
One morning we wake up she was there
We were a little old out of way town
And all us kids were glad to have her around
You know her castle was an old mobile home
She didn't even have a cellular phone
She lived on cigarettes and cookies and tea
And said she once had a show on TV
And all us kids around town called her Royal Annie
She talked to babies who had never been born
Said she had dresses that she never had worn
She had sweethearts who come out of the air
And said she had a lock Elvis' hair
She pushed an old shopping cart around town
She wore sneakers and an old satin gown
She wore diamonds and we knew they were fake
Said she once gave Dolly Parton a break
And all us kids around town called her Royal Annie
She'd sit and stare at the bright morning sun
We were suspicious that she carried a gun
They once considered puttin' Annie in jail
She never ever went to pick up her mail
Then one day there was a big limousine
Came to town and caused a terrible scene
A bunch of doctors and lawyers they say
And they came to take Annie away
And all us kids around town called her Royal Annie
When Royal Annie was gone I recall
They had a meeting at a community hall
They wrote a letter and were tryin' to say
They hoped that Annie had enjoyed her stay
Well they'd been looking for her over a year
They were surprised to find her living out here
And Royal Annie sent a small none of thanks
And she had 10 million bucks in the bank
And all us kids around town called her Royal Annie
All us kids around town called her Royal Annie
Annie la Real
Llevaba un gran lazo amarillo en su cabello
Una mañana despertamos y ella estaba allí
Éramos un pequeño pueblo algo apartado
Y todos nosotros los niños estábamos contentos de tenerla cerca
Su castillo era una vieja casa móvil
Ni siquiera tenía un teléfono celular
Vivía de cigarrillos, galletas y té
Y decía que una vez tuvo un programa de TV
Y todos nosotros los niños del pueblo la llamábamos Annie la Real
Hablaba con bebés que nunca habían nacido
Decía que tenía vestidos que nunca había usado
Tenía amores que salían del aire
Y decía que tenía un mechón de cabello de Elvis
Empujaba un viejo carrito de compras por el pueblo
Llevaba zapatillas y un viejo vestido de satén
Llevaba diamantes y sabíamos que eran falsos
Decía que una vez le dio una oportunidad a Dolly Parton
Y todos nosotros los niños del pueblo la llamábamos Annie la Real
Se sentaba a mirar el brillante sol de la mañana
Sospechábamos que llevaba un arma
Una vez consideraron llevar a Annie a la cárcel
Nunca iba a recoger su correo
Entonces un día llegó una gran limusina
Que causó un terrible escándalo en el pueblo
Un grupo de médicos y abogados, dicen
Vinieron a llevarse a Annie
Y todos nosotros los niños del pueblo la llamábamos Annie la Real
Cuando Annie la Real se fue, recuerdo
Hubo una reunión en el salón comunitario
Escribieron una carta tratando de decir
Esperaban que Annie hubiera disfrutado su estancia
Llevaban buscándola más de un año
Se sorprendieron al encontrarla viviendo aquí
Y Annie la Real envió un pequeño agradecimiento
Y tenía 10 millones de dólares en el banco
Y todos nosotros los niños del pueblo la llamábamos Annie la Real
Todos nosotros los niños del pueblo la llamábamos Annie la Real
