Irene Dämmerung
She gave me a rock
that she had hand painted
Irene Dämmerung
held my unrequited passion.
Irene had a gentle heart
I knew this when we
were first acquainted.
She wore a rabbit fur coat
right in fashion.
Her husband Twilight Joe
was always high rolling.
Joe had a cool hand like Sundance
on his bride's visage we all gazed.
A man with the good smoke
that he was controlling.
Irene could catch men's eyes
even other girls were amazed.
She'd paint little stones
designs she had created.
Traded her fur jacket to Tina
for a green felt one that was better.
She took off with Joe Shannon
back down to Monticello.
The last thing we ever heard from her
was a sad letter.
That Irene had walked in one day
to see Joe dead from pleasure.
Tied off arm and needle
Joe had overdosed on his treasure.
