Annie Melton歌词

作曲 : Charlie Parr
Lay down your head, Annie, you're going home
You should have been gone long ago
You should have been gone long ago
When Tom walked back from the Civil War
There waited two women at his door
There waited two women by his door
So you killed poor Laura and buried her nigh
In a shallow grave on the mountainside
In a shallow grave on the mountainside
For love's jealous ways, Tom took the fall
And headed out for Arkansas
And headed out for Arkansas
Oh, Annie Melton, Tom's dead and gone
Hung for the sin you have done
Hung for the sin you have done
Hang your head down, Annie, hang your head and cry
Make two marks before you die
Make two marks before you die
Long have you lived, this blood on your head
Flames of hell burn 'round your bed
Flames of hell burn 'round your bed
Lay down your head, Annie, you're going home
You should have been gone long ago
You should have been gone long ago
