Raggedy Ann

(album: The Fabulous Charlie Rich - 1969)

Over there across the tracks inside a dingy two-room shack
Lives a girl who spends her spare time crying, Raggedy Ann
The patches that she tries to hide keep tearing down her heart has cried
And makes it hard for her to keep on trying, Raggedy Ann

But here's someone who loves her and to him she's Cinderella
He's just waiting for the day until she's old enough for him to come and take her away
To a world where there'll never be no hand-me-downs
Safe in the arms of the one who loves her and understands Raggedy Ann

Yes, Raggedy Ann, I love you, and to me you're my Cinderella
I'm just waiting for the day until you're old enough for me to come and take you away
To a world where there'll never be no hand-me-downs
Safe in my arms cause I love you and I understand, Raggedy Ann

Over there across the tracks inside a dingy two-room shack
Lives a girl who spends her spare time crying, Raggedy Ann...
