[Verse 1]
Evil Edna she wore sequins to the funeral
Looked just like a gypsy
Never shed a tear

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody said she looked just like a hooker
Everyone mistook her for the loser of the year

[Chorus]
Still the voices of the prophets
Tell us we should live just so
Ah Edna didn't care
Enda did not know

[Verse 2]
Two weeks later, Edna laughed at her confession
Laughed just like a gypsy
Gave the nuns a chill

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody said she'd never be forgiven
Everybody cursed her, said that she was ill

[Chorus]
Still the voices of the prophets
Tell us we should live just so
Ah Edna didn't care
Oh she did not know

[Verse 3]
Just the other day I heard some people talkin'
Edna went out walkin' and she passed away
No one knew exactly just what happened
No one came to mourn her, we all stayed away

In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.
