| Up at the school
|
| There was only one light
|
| On the last day
|
| She worked through the night
|
| She rang the warning bell
|
| As loud as she could
|
| Then came the morning
|
| And the bad with the good
|
| But for the ladies from town
|
| Well when the time is right
|
| They come around
|
| But for the ladies from town
|
| Lovely lady will you wear my crown
|
| That wreath is going overboard
|
| No one’s wept like that before
|
| I was down the hall and far from harm
|
| At the most I thought it was a broken arm
|
| But for the ladies from town
|
| Well when the time is right
|
| They come around
|
| But for the ladies from town
|
| Lovely lady will you wear my crown
|
| On the way back
|
| New kid will drive
|
| We were all in shock
|
| Man I still seem so alive
|
| When I got there
|
| The house was ablaze
|
| Out of the darkness
|
| Into the haze
|
| But for the ladies from town
|
| Well when the time is right
|
| They come around
|
| But for the ladies from town
|
| Lovely lady will you wear my crown
|
| Many years later
|
| I see them in the church
|
| Singing loud like the bird upon a perch
|
| Confess the sins
|
| And they will never come again
|
| Angels on the earth
|
| Angels on the other way to love
|
| I don’t wanna play yeah
|
| But for the ladies from town
|
| Well when the time is right
|
| They come around
|
| But for the ladies from town
|
| Lovely lady will you wear my crown |
