Lyrics Just Seventeen - Paul Revere & The Raiders, The Raiders

Just Seventeen

Early in the mornin', up in Missoula
Was just about a quarter to four
Layin' on my bed, treatment in my head
There’d come a knock on my door
Before my eyes there was an angel
And I said 'Won't you come inside?'
She said 'I'm just seventeen' but she looked fine
'Just seventeen?
Come on inside'
Way up in the mornin', up in Missoula
Wanna search for true on the floor
I was feelin' weak, 'bout to fall asleep
There’d come a knock on my door
Before my eyes there stood that angel
She said 'Why don’t you be mine?'
'Cause you’re just seventeen' but she looks fine
'Just seventeen, and that’s a crime'
