[Verse 1]
I recall when I last saw her, the old street car was grinding down
She hopped aboard and sat behind me, as I turned that mule around
In my ear I heard a whisper, how'd her heart, a howdy-ho
I let her out at the next corner, my Annabelle from Cedar Shoals

[Chorus]
The price I pay, to have two lovers, now I know I've gone too far
And I feel so sad and lonely, riding down the boulevard

[Verse 2]
When I got home, she was a-waitin, she had a letter in her hand
She looked at me with eyes of fire, my lovely wife Kylie Ann
Come I did saw her swagger, just as soon as I laid down
She picked up a silver dagger and she headed off to town

[Chorus]
The price I pay, to have two lovers, now I know I've gone too far
And I feel so sad and lonely, riding down the boulevard

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
I picked up the Southern Banner, as I read I nearly fell
They found a girl in New York County, there was another in the jail
Gentle rain slowly falling, trolley wheels were muddy red
I thought I heard a voice a-callin, because of me a girl is dead
[Outro]
The price I pay, to have two lovers, now I know I've gone too far
And I feel so sad and lonely, riding down the boulevardd
Riding down the boulevard
Riding down the boulevard
