about

Another great vocal job by Marti with lyrics that really fit the feel of the music !
This song has a real rockabilly surf feel to it !

lyrics

Isabella

Isabella, Isabella, Why'd you go and take my man
I don't really think you love him, you just did it cause you can
Isabella, Isabella, is it all a game to you, when your tire of your boyfriend and go find somebody new

waltz right in with your long red hair and your big green eye's and the men just stare, and they all wanna drink, and they all wanna dance and you act like they all have a chance, pick one out and ya take one home and you do watcha do until your done
time goes buy and the new wheres thin and your off to find another man

Isabella, Isabella, with my boyfriend on your arm
there's no Jezebel or Jolene that can compete with your charms
You make breaking homes into a wretched form of art
somebody's got to stop you for you break another heart

waltz right in with your long red hair and your big green eye's and the men just stare, and they all wanna drink, and they all wanna dance and you act like they all have a chance,
but I know something you don't know, we've all decided you must go, women of this town are through with broken hearts because of you

Isabella, Isabella,the woman with no shame
there's a bullet in my pocket engraved with your name
one day i'll have the guts to go and find myself a gun
and wait for you behind the bar where there's no where to run

have no fear i won't get caught, the sheriff is our only law and Izzy it looks bad for you, the sheriff is a woman and she hates you too
you stole her husband and wrecked her home, she tops the list that wants you gone , the moral of my stories song is hell hath no furry like a woman wronged
