[Verse 1]
B E
She was fifteen, quiet and lean
B E
Digging the music, making the scene
B
People would stare at her long golden hair
E B
My baby's in black was the colour she'd wear
[Chorus]
C#m F#m
When I first saw her, my heart did flips
C#m F#
Feel our first kiss still burning my lips
E B E
Holding her near, year after year, my Southside girl
[Verse 2]
E
She was so fine that after a time
E
I found myself hoping she would be mine
E
She spotted my plan, did not understand
B
She thought I was crazy holding her hand
[Chorus]
C#m
When I first saw her, my heart did flips
F#
Feel our first kiss still burning my lips
E B E
Holding her near, year after year, my Southside girl
[Verse 3]
A E A
I called upon her mother, she told me "There's another"
B
"Why don't you just quit and go home?"

I thought for just a minute, I knew that I was in it
B
I said "I'll never go home alone"
