Walk Through The Bottomland |
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 |
