I met her in  a pool-room

Her name I did-n't catch

She looks like some-thing spe-cial

 4   4     4   -3 -3”   3
 7   7     7   -7 -6    6
The kind who'd un-der-stand

She pulled a-no-ther smile

She had a cer-tain style

She took me to a motel
The room on the second floor 
A kettle and two coffees 
The number on the door
She said I hardly know you 
Agreed we kissed goodnight 
I knew that in the morning 
Somehow I'd wake to find 

Sunlight on the lino 
Waken me with a shake 
I looked around to find her 
But she'd gone 
Goodbye girl 
Goodbye girl 
Goodbye girl 

I lost my silver razor
My clubroom locker keys 
The money in the waistcoat
It doesn't bother me 
My wife has moved to Jersey
So mum is not the word 
If you ever see her 
Say hello Goodbye Girl

Sunlight on the lino 
Woke me with a shake 
I looked around to find her 
But she'd gone 
Goodbye girl 
Goodbye girl 
Goodbye girl 
Goodbye girl 
Goodbye girl 
Goodbye girl 
Goodbye girl
