Lyrics

if you see rita with the black dress on
walking all alone
she knows I’m dead and gone
that's why she's got that black dress on
if you see rita with the black dress on
walking all alone
please tell rita to put her red dress on

tell her she don't need to be alone
just cause i’m dead and gone
tell her she needs to find someone
so she should put her pretty red dress on

Reads like a cool counter/bookend to Orbison's "Pretty Woman" or De Burgh's "Lady in Red" tune, @pabrizzer .

Dug the visuals you set forth in this write! Could see all the images as part of a telling vid in which Rita's dress magically changes pattern/color in time and in line with the lyrics being sung about it, her, and the storyteller.

Cool tale on the page and just as interesting in song. Well done!

That is a great theme for a song. Really wonderfully delivered too. I like the soft sound. It makes it feel really heartfelt. You got some good riffage in there too. Very catchy.

Soft sung lyrics and that cool guitar pattern make this so nice to to listen to. Great hook and imagery. Beautiful song.

Excellent song, very tuneful with a compelling guitar hook that goes very well with the vocals. It was great from the start and the nice singing and strong melody had me hooked.

Oh this feels like a classic 1950s C&W song that my Dad would sing every time we had a power cut in Lagos. Hank Snow would have loved this.

Catchy guitar work. The lyrics flow really well, too. This is a keeper, for sure. 😄
