Love At The Five And Dime (Live 1988 Anderson Fair) - Nanci Griffith

Rita was sixteen years...

hazel eyes and chestnut hair

She made the Woolworth counter shine

Eddie was a sweet romancer,

and a darn good dancer

They'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime

They'd sing, "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 played the steel guitar and his mama

cried 'cuz 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

And they'd sing

Dance a little closer to me

Hey, dance a little closer now

Dance a little closer tonight

Dance a little closer to me

Hey, 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...

singin' a different tune

And sportin' Miss Rita back by his side

And they'd sing

Dance a little closer to me

Hey, dance a little closer now

Dance a little closer tonight

Dance a little closer to me

Hey, 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

Rita's got a house to keep... dime store

novels and a love so sweet

They dance to the radio late at night

And they'd sing

Dance a little closer to me

Hey, dance a little closer now

Dance a little closer tonight

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 made the Woolworth counter shine

And Eddie was a sweet romancer

And a darn good dancer

And they waltzed the aisles of the five and dime

They'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime

They'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime
