Walk Through The Bottomland

歌詞

A New Jersey lady I knew long ago And she was a lady I say But she met a cowboy who rode on the rodeo And he stole her heart straight away The New Jersey lady she loved him so true Another love she never had But cowboys are lonesome and cowboys are blue And they make the ladies so sad Sing me a melody Sing me a blues Walk through the bottomland without no shoes The Brazos she's running scared She heard the news Walk through the bottomland without no shoes The New Jersey lady knew he loved her too And you know she tried to hold on But the rodeo life was the life that he knew He had to keep drifting along She never married and she never would And all of the people they'd say The New Jersey lady she just ain't no good To follow a cowboy that way Sing me a melody Sing me a blues Walk through the bottomland without no shoes The Brazos she's running scared She heard the news Walk through the bottomland without no shoes The lady she'd sing him to sleep in the night And then in the morning he'd go She loved the darkness and hated the light Along with that damn rodeo The New Jersey lady the day that he died She covered him over with clay And feeling the wind in the night as she cried She heard the old cowboy say Sing me a melody Sing me a blues Walk through the bottomland without no shoes The Brazos she's running scared She heard the news Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
