Lyle Lovett - Walk Through The Bottomland текст песни

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 shes 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 theyd say

The new jersey lady she just aint 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 shes running scared

She heard the news

Walk through the bottomland without no shoes

The lady shed sing him to sleep in the night

And then in the morning hed 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 shes running scared

She heard the news

Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
