Annie Ford 歌詞

I met Annie Ford out on the great West Road Soaking through and thumbing for a ride She sat there on her suitcase in a dancing dress I would've been a fool to pass her by And as we sped across the night We told our stories by the light Of the stars that lead us home each time we stray Me and Annie talked 'til dawn When we reached her old man's farm Then I said "So long, guess I'll be on my way" I started meeting Annie by the old sawmill Wasting time and drinking in the day Courting her was easy with a smile like that Loving her was easy in the night Me and Annie set a date And had a wedding in the Spring Man, you should've heard that old church choir sing It didn't take us very long 'Til the baby came along Well we named him Tom and settled into life But one night Death came around And Annie left without a sound But the trouble with this life is it doesn't last so long And your love can be divided over night Now it's only me and Tom Now our wife and mother's gone And I told the Lord "I just don't think it's right"
