SWEET MELINDA
Live 23 Jan 1971 version

Sweet, sweet Melinda
You turn my heart to a cinder
The way you do them things that you do

Ohhh, oh Melinda, hm!
If the Pope knew you were such a sinner
He'd be on his way, flight TWA today

I call my baby on the telephone
Come on, my mama's gone, I'm all alone
Good ol' Melinda, sure can make a man smile
Ooh, oh-ee baby, now you're drivin' me wild

Oh sweet, sweet Melinda
Oh you turn my heart to a cinder, oh yeah
Oh the way you do them things that you do

Alright, let me ???!

I call my woman on the telephone
She said "Come on, my mama's gone, and I'm alone"
Oh no Melinda never leave a man stuck
All the gang told me the way (all the gang told him)

Sweet, sweet Melinda, alright!
You turn my heart to a cinder
The way you do them things that you do
Alright, alright, alright, alright, ohhh! (Everybody!)

Sweet, sweet Melinda
You know, you know it hurts
(You turn my heart to a cinder)
The way you do them things that you do

Thanks for stopping by!

Has there been a deliberate attempt to hide images of Springsteen with long hair as it detracted from his "working man" image?

[GrafficGuy]

Thank YOU! I was actually there for this concert - I don't remember this song being played but hey, that was a lonnnng time ago. There was a blizzard that night and me and my buddy drove about 30 miles in that storm to get to the Upstage. There were no more than a hundred or so people there for the last concert of what I think is one of the best live bands there ever was.

Great comment, yea go figure...

[GrafficGuy]

@satanasdelincuente Funny, I had long hair back then too, and I was a "working man" at the time as well.......imagine that.
