Lyrics Adelaide - Chadwick Stokes, State Radio

Adelaide

He fell in love with a reservation girl
During the time of the sugar beat harvest
They moved out west to the coast
Where he built her a bed
Made of shag bark from Sherwood Forest
And things were good until she told him goodbye
Said, they were better off living separate lives
Maybe they was
Should we stop and take her with us?
Should we stop and take her with us?
Should we stop and take her with us?
For all our time
So, we left Worcester with our boots in our bags
And America undressed herself in front of our eyes
My sister told me, my sister told me
Had these gangs in the hills when the hickory falls
And you never know when you’re gonna
Need to run from it all like she did
But, should we stop and take her with us?
Should we stop and take her with us?
Should we stop and take her with us?
For all our time
Adelaide
You know you’re just no good for me
You know it’s just so hard to see
That you were right
She was dangling her legs
Over the little Colorado river
Asking my last bit of sunlight
And all the Arizona told me
Arizona told me
So, I asked her if she wanted to fly
Yup, maybe she needed a ride
To go anywhere at all
Adelaide
You know you’re just no good for me
You know it’s just so hard to see
That you were right
Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less
Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less
I’ve tried, he said underneath his breath, I’ve tried
Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less
Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less
I’ve tried, he said underneath his breath, I’ve tried
Adelaide
You know you’re just no good for me
You know it’s just so hard to see
That you were right
Adelaide
You know you’re just no good for me
You know it’s just so hard to see
That you were right
