She stands five foot two, just like the song, little Lonnie May,
But she'll kill you if you so much as look at her wrong, little Lonnie May.
She's quiet as a mouse, but that's what's the trouble,
You think you're alone, but suddenly, a hustle,
She's standing right behind you - you don't have long: Li'l Lonnie May, Li'l Lonnie May.
She don't drink, she don't get high, little Lonnie May.
She keeps her wits about her, she don't play no wise guy, little Lonnie May.
They never find the bodies, they never see 'em go,
She's been wanted now for decades but she's always lying low,
And that's why Lonnie don't need no alibi, little Lonnie May, little Lonnie May.
Not many folks say they seen her around, llm
Most people reckon she must've skipped town, little Lonnie May.
But I reckon folks who seen her would be all discreet,
From their shallow little graves by the side of the creek,
And that's why Lonnie just ain't been found. Little Lonnie May, little Lonnie May.
