Lyrics:
By townes van zandt Let me tell you a story 'bout a girl I knew Fairest skin with eyes of blue I swear to the lord that I loved her true It's a year now she's been gone Her spirit was as bright as the soft sunshine Lips the color of strawberry wine I wish to God she still was mine The chance won't come again After first we lay in love's sweet bed With one look at her eyes I might have read All the pain that was flying through her head Through my guilt I could not see I turned to her when the morning came Hungry thoughts racing through my brain But the knife in her heart screamed herself she'd slain And a note whispered love too soon Her old man screamed and her mother cried All I could do was to wonder why A girl in her youth was forced to die Is loving such a crime? She died [few in the years] with breasts still small Seeing sixteens summers and fifteen falls Me and my blindness never realized all The fear she kept inside Let me tell you a story 'bout a girl I knew Fairest skin with eyes of blue I swear to the lord that I loved her true
