*Hazard - Richard Marx.

Anyone know what happened to poor Mary?
Do we think she's still somewhere down by the river, in that old Nebraska town?

Why why why Delilah?

Because you were a crazy deranged stalker and she dumped your incel ass. So you you killed her and victim blamed the shit out of the situation.

Is Gina still working the diner all day, or did she dump that ex-dock worker and is now retired on a nice little pension?

She does TED talks about the need for women to be fiscally empowered.

Where do you go to, my lovely? When you're alone in your bed.

She goes to the back streets of Naples where she is a child playing in rags. He tells us at the end of the (admittedly quite long) song!

Mrs Brown solved that one, she has a pair of Meatloaf knickers. On the front it says I would do anything for love, and on the back it says but I won’t do that.

Mrs Brown, the one with the lovely daughter 😁😂😂

Re: Mary, I couldn't tell you but the wind won't stop crying her name. Even when the jacks are in their boxes and the clowns have gone to bed.

Why does it always rain on me?

It's because you lied when you were 17.

She’s not necessarily dead.
She just never came home.

True.

What were she and Billie Joe throwing off the Tallahatchie Bridge?

oh this is obvious, and very poignant :(

What happened with Cotton Eyed Joe that chased all the girls away so there weren’t any left for him to marry? Where did he come from, and where did he go?

edited because I got a little bit wrong

Edited

I read the Cotton Eyed Joe was a slang way of describing the symptoms of syphilis in a male. Nobody knows where it comes from or where it goes but it ruins a lot of relationships.

I think Annie got pissed off with the constant wellbeing checks.

Did Jolene take her man?

If he’s that easy to take, Jolene is welcome to him.
