Love At The Five And Dime (LP版) - Nanci Griffith
Written by：Nanci Griffith
1 2 cha cha cha
Rita was sixteen years
Hazel eyes and chestnut hair
She really made the Woolworth counter shine
And Eddie was a sweet romancer
And a darn good dancer
They'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime
Eddie played the steel guitar
And his mama cried 'coz he played in the bars
And kept young Rita out late at night
So they married up in Abilene
Lost a child in Tennessee
Still that love survived
'Cause they'd sing
Dance a little closer to me
Dance a little closer now
Dance a little closer tonight
Ohh
Dance a little closer to me
It's closing time and love's on sale
Tonight at this five and dime
One of the boys in Eddie's band
Took a shine to Rita's hands
So Eddie ran off with the bass man's wife
Oh but he was back by June
And we singin' a different tune
And sportin' miss Rita back by is side
And he sang
Dance a little closer to me
Dance a little closer now
Dance a little closer tonight
Dance a little closer to me
It's closing time and love's on sale
Tonight at this five and dime
Eddie traveled with the barroom bands
'Till arthritis took his hands
Now he sells insurance on the side
Oh Rita's got a house to keep dimestore novels
And a love so sweet
They dance to the radio late at night
And still sings
Dance a little closer to me
Dance a little closer now
Dance a little closer tonight
Oh
Dance a little closer to me
Hey it's closing time
And love's on sale tonight at this five and dime
Rita was sixteen years
Hazel eyes and chestnut hair
She really made the Woolworth counter shine
Eddie was a sweet romancer
And Eddie was a darn good dancer
And they'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime
Who live a simple life
They'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime
C'mon Lewis lets go
Ohh
We go through all aisles of the five and dime
