She lives upon a mountain overlooking Salt Kitty Ridge
I see her every morning walk her dog across the bridge
Her daddy's got a shotgun and a whet firm keen-eyed aim
Protecting never neclecting sweet Lorraine

Sweet Lorraine I'll never be the same
She changed my life the day she came to town
The day that Lorraine came down

I'm filling at the filling station feeling down and blue
Knowing she is out of reach and nothing I can do
But momma always said she was raising a determined man
I can't give up I've got to see Lorraine again

Sweet Lorraine I'll never be the same
She changed my life the day she came to town
The day Lorraine came down

I'm shakin' like a jittery wet nosed day old pup
Tonight I plan to climb way up to Kitty mountain top
And even if I have to dodge her daddy's shot gun blasts
I'm gonna bring her down and make Lorraine mine at last

Sweet Lorraine I'll never be the same
She changed my life the day she came to town
The day that Lorraine came down
