Love Wore A Halo (Back Before The War) (Album Version) - Nanci Griffith[00:00:00]

He owned a hotel on Jersey shore[00:00:12]

She made her living seeing[00:00:17]

The sailors door to door[00:00:19]

He was a small Hawaiian[00:00:23]

With a crooked smile[00:00:26]

But he made her eyes light up[00:00:28]

Like the heavens on the Fourth of July[00:00:30]

She ran the numbers [00:00:34]

They say she ran them clean[00:00:36]

Those porcelain hands keep a ledger[00:00:39]

Even in her sleeves[00:00:42]

While he worked the See-Bees[00:00:45]

In the Phillipines[00:00:48]

They say she made more money[00:00:50]

Than you and I will ever see[00:00:52]

Cause love was a magnet on the Jersey shore[00:00:56]

If you were looking for love boys [00:01:01]

You could have found it in '44[00:01:03]

Cause love wore a halo back before the war[00:01:07]

When the men loved the women[00:01:13]

And the women knew what men were for[00:01:15]

It was in the winter when he came home[00:01:24]

And he had to hold those porcelain hands[00:01:29]

Just to keep her warm[00:01:32]

So they had a daughter [00:01:35]

Her name was Stephanie Anne[00:01:37]

They sent her off to Vasser[00:01:40]

To find herself a family man[00:01:42]

Cause love was a magnet on the Jersey shore[00:01:46]

If you were looking for love boys [00:01:51]

You could have found it in '44[00:01:53]

Cause love wore a halo back before the war[00:01:57]

When the men loved the women[00:02:03]

And the women knew what men were for[00:02:04]

She sold the hotel; it belongs to me[00:02:20]

And I watch those sailors come[00:02:25]

And go by the waves in the sea[00:02:27]

From the poor chaps in the honeymoon suite[00:02:31]

And I hear them fishing their lives[00:02:36]

Away in the Florida Keys[00:02:38]

Cause love was a magnet on the Jersey shore[00:02:42]

If you were looking for love boys [00:02:47]

You could have found it in '44[00:02:49]

Cause love wore a halo back before the war[00:02:53]

When the men loved the women[00:02:58]

And the women knew what men were for[00:03:00]

When the men loved the women[00:03:04]

And the women knew what men were for[00:03:06]

When the men loved the women[00:03:10]

And the women knew what men were for[00:03:11]
