John Entwistle - Roller Skate Kate Lyrics

(J. Entwistle)

Track Music, Inc.



I had a girl, Kate was her name

We used to roller skate together

Now it will never be the same.



Now she's gone, she's gone, she's gone, she's gone

To that great skating rink in the sky.



I remember that day

As if it were yesterday

We were skating side by side

In the fast lane on the motorway



Now she's gone, she's gone, she's gone, she's gone

To that great skating rink in the sky.



She was skating way too fast

She was far too daring

When she crashed into that truck

In a shower of ball bearings.



(In Elvis talk)



They took her to the hospital

But it was far too late

She died in the ambulance and

And that night, that night I

I wear my skates.



Now she's gone, she's gone, she's gone, she's gone

To that great skating rink in the sky.



I had a girl, Kate was her name

We used to roller skate together

Now it will never be the same.



Now she's gone, she's gone, she's gone, she's gone

To that great skating rink in the sky.



She's gone, she's gone, she's gone, she's gone

To that great skating rink in the sky.
