Muriel

 

Q:   Who sang the song "Oh Muriel" a male artist-popular in the the early 70's.  Thanks - Alicia





A:   Hello Alicia-


Thanks for taking the time to ask me your question.

I can not find a song called "Oh Muriel". I did however find a song called "Muriel" that was a hit for Tom Waits from his 1977 album "Foreign Affairs".

The lyrics are below.


Muriel


Muriel since you left town the clubs closed down
And there's one more burned out lamppost down on the main street
Down where we used to stroll
And Muriel I still hit all the same old haunts
And you follow me wherever I go
And Muriel I see you on a Saturday night
In a penny arcade with your hair tied back
And the diamond twinkle in your eye
Is the only wedding ring I'll buy you
Muriel


And Muriel how many times I've left this town
To hide from your memory
And it haunts me
But I only get as far as the next whiskey bar
I buy another cheap cigar and I'll see you every night
Hey Muriel Muriel
Hey buddy got a light
 

 

 

Thanks-
Raven
