Strange Lady in Town
Frankie Laine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Strange lady in town,strange lady in town
She's all that any man could ever hope or pray for
If I were king I'd trade the crown
For that strange strange lady in town

Oh heart of mine your in danger
There's a strange lady in town
Who is this heart stealin' stranger
Who is turnin' the town upside down

Her hair is red as the setting sun
Her lips are ripe as the corn
The lights that rise in her sea green eyes
Make a man can be glad he was born

Strange lady in town,strange lady in town
She's all that any man could ever hope or pray for
If I were king I'd trade the the crown
For that strange strange lady in town

Ain't got no ring for her finger
And I can't buy her a gown
But rain or shine
I'll still make her mine
That strange strange lady in town

Strange lady in town,strange lady in town
She's all that any man could ever hope or pray for
If I were king I'd trade the crown
For that strange strange lady in town




Strange lady in town,strange lady in town
Strange lady in town

Great voice!

Frankie Laine was a true talent. I do remember that when I was a little girl my brother and his wife went to see him on Salt Lake city. They said they were in the 2nd row & that Frankie spit as he sang and they were pretty soaked in the dinner theatre atmosphere.
