A letra:
Melody,
it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Melody,
it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Came home one morning about quarter to
three
I'm banging on my door cause I just lost my key
Open
up, baby, you got someone else inside
I'm going to come get you
dead or alive
Melody, it was her second name
Melody,
it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Melody,
it was her second name
I took her out dancing but she drank
away my cash
She said, "I'm going to fix my face don't you
worry I'll be back"
I'm looking for her high and low like a
mustard for a ham
She was crashed out in the bathroom
In the
arms of my best friend
Melody, it was her second name
Melody,
it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Melody,
it was her second name
Then one day she left me
She took
everything that moved
My car, she took my trailer home
She
took my Sunday boots
My nose is on her trail
I'm going to
catch her by surprise
Then I'm going to have the pleasure
To
roast that child alive
Melody, it was her second name
Melody,
it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Melody,
it was her second name
