Leona

Leona was a woman that lived in our town
Pretty as a picture with big ol' eyes of brown
She danced and she partied almost every night
Leona only lived with things that wasn't right
Leona leona your ways are so strange
Leona leona your will you ever change
One night she was dancin' she met an older man
She thought that he had money and he became leona's plan
And as she cast her evil spell upon her older prey
She had that old man dreaming he was in his younger days
She took him in her pretty home and turned the lights down low
As the old man's heart beat faster his eyes began to glow
She kissed him she loved him she gave off her charms
But the old man he died that night in leona's arms
Leona leona your ways are so strange...
There were many at the funeral they seen leona cried
When the preacher told the people how the old man had died
But after it was over and they had him in the ground
Leona had that preacher man and headin' back to town
Leona leona your ways are so strange...
Leona leona your ways are so strange...
