lyrics

they shut down the bar an hour or so before
pulled down the shades put the closed sign on the door
she was dancing on the bar still and nobody seemed to care
i said i got a place just a block or two from here

i miss her
my little bucktown girl

i said tell me your name she said call me what you please
and gave a little half laugh and she kissed me on the cheek
said would the gentleman like to buy the girl a drink
i said of course he would and washed a glass out in the sink

her laughter sounded like a song
sung in harmony till dawn
when i woke up she was gone
