Velvet Red

歌詞

Velvet red Velvet red He'd come callin' Velvet red There was a narrow road to that old foot path Where the briar tangles into the musky dawn And that old, abandoned cabin Was the perfect place for forbidden love to hide She was the mayor's eldest daughter She had a taste for the fruit of the vine And he was a poor boy down in that holler And made his living on his homemade wine Velvet red Velvet red He'd come callin' Velvet red Velvet red Velvet red She'd come runnin' Velvet red Don't you know their love grew, like the wild flowers do? She'd start to miss him with an awful thirst And when that sun went down, she'd go sneakin' out And he'd be waitin', callin' out to her Velvet red Velvet red Makin' love on Velvet red Velvet red Velvet red They were drunk on Velvet red There was a child born twenty years ago To a mother who never wed Though she gave no name for the father She called her daughter Little Velvet Red Velvet Red Velvet Red Mama calls me Velvet Red Velvet Red Velvet Red (Velvet Red) My mama calls me Velvet Red
