- I Married A Gangster

[Verse]
He walked in with a shadowed grin
A fedora low and a world of sin
Whiskey whispers in the smoky air
I knew his trouble but I didn't care

[Verse 2]
He wore the night like a tailored suit
Boots of leather sharp as a flute
Prohibition fed his hungry flame
And Al Capone was his whispered name

[Chorus]
I married a gangster wild and free
A life of crime became my symphony
In the chaos love was our throne
I was his queen in a world unknown

[Verse 3]
Speakeasy dreams where secrets bloom
In the backroom haze where danger loomed
Bank notes danced like ghosts in flight
He'd come home late but hold me tight

[Verse 4]
Mae Coughlin they called my name
Beside his throne I played the game
The Great Depression couldn't tear us apart
For better or worse I gave my heart

[Bridge]
Gunshots echoed in the streets below
The law would chase but he'd never show
Bootlegging nights and a diamond ring
He gave me love and the chaos it brings.

Al Capone was his name.
