The first naked lady I ever saw
Was that tattoo on my uncle's arm
On daddy's farm that summer he drove up
And helped us build that barn
He rolled up his sleeves, his arms were lean
He flexed and made her dance for me
And I turned red and we both laughed
And hoped my daddy didn't see
He got all teary-eyed and serious
When I asked him who she was
That's Adalene in '63
Well, I wish you could've met her
She was everything to me
Hear it all the time, love at first sight
When I saw that girl, I knew I'd have to love her all my life
I was just nineteen when I got this thing
And I swear that it still stings
Every time I think about my Adalene
"Get back to work, you lazy bums"
My daddy joked, "He's lying, son
Whatever it is he said he did
You can best believe he's never done"
Mom yelled, "Hey guys, it's supper time
Wipe off your feet and wash your hands"
And as we did I said, "Hey Dad
You ever seen that tattoo dance?"
He got all teary-eyed and serious
Shook his head and said, "Yeah, I remember her"
That's Adalene in '63
First time I ever saw your uncle take a drink
You hear it all the time, love at first sight
When I saw her in his arms, I knew he'd love her all his life
I was twenty-four in your grandpa's Ford
And I paid for all that ale
Yeah, I know all about that Adalene
I knew her well
Hell, all he ever talked about
From the moment that he fell
Were those wedding bells
That house up on the hill
And how empty and how lonely life would be
Without his Adalene
You hear it all the time, love at first sight
When I saw that girl, I knew I'd have to love her all my life
I was just nineteen when I got this thing
And I swear that it still stings
Every time I think about my Adalene
Oh, my Adalene
The first naked lady I ever saw
Was that tattoo on my uncle's arm
