Rock song....I think it was the first song I wrote on my 62 Telecaster.

lyrics

Sadie's lover took to robbing banks they say
To keep her style of living high
Sadie's living in the South of France these days
But her boyfriend got 20 to life
He was a fool to love

They found him hanging in his cell yesterday
The doctor cut him down with a knife
He's not immune to feeling human tragedy
And he told the Warder by his side
He was a fool to love
He was a fool to love

Heaven above knows what you're thinking of
When you're a fool a doggone fool for love

There's a wise old Indian Guru on a mountain top
Sitting cross-legged in the rain
He devoted his life to prayer and suffering
It's done something to his brain
He was a fool to love

A young man made his way up there through many trials
Self-denial and much pain
When he got there he was greeted by a smile
And the words that sent him down again
Boy you're a fool to love

Don;t ask those crazy questions
Don't ask me what it all means - I don't know
I 'aint got no answers
I'm no authority on Love - just go

Anton was a soldier in the Foreign Legion
He was tough and one of the best
A year ago he got a letter from his girl
Worse than any bullet to the chest
He was a fool to love

Now he's fighting in somebody elses war
Cut off his nose to spite his face
He's gonna take it out on someone pretty soon
Everybody gets out of Anton's way
He was a fool to love
He was a fool to love
