ROLLING STONES LYRICS

Claudine

Written about singer-actress Claudine Longet. In March 1976, she killed her live-in boyfriend, Olympian ski racer Vladimir "Spider" Sabich in their Aspen Colorado home. She only spent 30 days in jail. The trial preceded O.J. Simpson's by nearly two decades, yet like Simpson, Longet hired high-powered defense teams - and got off easy, in the minds of most people. Song recorded in November of 1977, but not released for years because of the fear of litigation. It was finally released on November 15, 2011, on the ressued Some Girls CD.

Vocals & Acoustic Guitar: Mick Jagger; Electric Guitar: Keith Richard; Acoustic Guitar: Ron Wood;  Bass Guitar: Bill Wyman; Piano: Ian Stewart; Drums: Charlie Watts.

Claudine
(Jagger/Richards)

Now Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again, Claudine

Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
She only does it at weekends
Claudine

Now only Spider knows for sure
But he ain't talkin' about it any more
Is he, Claudine?

There was blood in the chalet
And blood in the snow
She washed her hands of the whole damn show, Claudine

Shot him once right through the head
Shot him twice right through the chest
The judge says ruled it was an accident, Claudine
Accidents will happen

Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine

Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine                     Yeah

Poor Claudine
Poor Claudine

Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again, Claudine

Poor Claudine
Poor Claudine
Poor poor Claudine

Now I threaten my wife with a gun
I always leave the safety on
I recommend it, Claudine

Yes she pistol whipped me once or twice
But she never tried to take my life
What do you think about that, Claudine

Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
She only does it at weekends, Claudine

Oooo ...poor Claudine
What about the children, baby?
Poor, poor children

You're the prettiest girl I ever seen
I saw you on the movie screen
Hope you don't try to make a sacrifice of me, Claudine
Don't get trigger happy with me, Claudine
Don't wave a gun at me. Claudine

Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again, Claudine

Oh Claudine
