There's no reason why I wrote this song. But the name Debra O'Hara popped into my head one day, and just last week I decided to write about her! I've no idea why I wrote this story...the lines came as I was composing! hahaha...don't know any Debra

Story behind the song

Big Jim Brown did the bass for me. In fact he sent me three tracks...all good. I'm not discerning enough to know which was better... Hope you like this piece.

Lyrics

Debra O’Hara
© May 22, 2014 Stan Loh

Verse 1
F#m E F#m
She needed a few to keep her afloat,
F#m E F#m
Joints from the house to lighten her load,
A C#7
Her hunger for thrills, a clause in her will,
F#m E F#m
She’s got nothing that lies in boothill!
A C#7
Sweet Debra O’Hara with red flaming hair,
F#m E F#m
She’s planning something so you’d better beware.

Verse 2
F#m E F#m
There was Big Dan, he’s loud-mouthed and raw,
F#m E F#m
Boasted to bar room he bedded this broad,
A C#7
By morn a bloody red skull from a baseball bat,
F#m E F#m
Red Crescent logbook said he bled like a rat!
A C#7
Sweet Debra O’Hara with red flaming hair,
F#m E F#m
She’s on the next train to a cell in St. Clair.

Verse 3
F#m E F#m
Oh Miss O’Hara sleeps three in a cell,
F#m E F#m
Sometimes she bathes alone by the well,
A C#7
The Warden’s spy glasses make love in a blur,
F#m E F#m
What a shameful truth, he must … must have her!
A C#7
Sweet Debra O’Hara with red flaming hair,
F#m E F#m
She’s on a warm bed tonight with whiskey to spare,
A C#7
Sweet Debra O’Hara with red flaming hair,
F#m E F#m
She’s planning something so you’d better beware.
