Lyrics:
The last time I saw her It was springtime I believe Walking barefoot down a country road Smiling through the fallen leaves Playing ups and downs upon the ground Speaking without a sound Feeling without a touch Seeing without eyes, so much With a thought of my hand upon her cheek She'd turn, but Lord, not to speak The Last Time I Saw Billy Joe alive It was 1955 Somewhere down in Tennessee We were searching to be free Feeling what we could not see Were Billy Joe and me Yes, the Last Time I Saw Billy Joe Alive It was 1955 Lying down on springtime’s ground We worshiped what we found Two lovers destined to be free Were Billy Joe and me The last time I saw her It was springtime I believe Struggling with her mind For the world she couldn't see I remember soft fingers reaching Desperately to find my face Reaching out in total darkness As my image she would trace With a thought of my hand upon her cheek She'd turn, but Lord, not to speak Oh Lord, it hurts me to think back Upon the days gone by I don't know why, but Lord it makes me cry And I know I should be grateful For the time we had But somehow Lord, the thought still makes me sad The last time I saw her It was springtime, I know for sure I remember heaven fell upon the ground As I loved away what was pure Yes Lord, I took her virginity But it was you who took her eyes And as she lie naked, soft, without a sound Oh Lord, how was I to know she'd die With a thought of my hand upon her cheek She wouldn't turn and Lord she wouldn't speak The Last Time I Saw Billy Joe alive It was 1955 Somewhere down in Tennessee We were searching to be free Feeling what we could not see Were Billy Joe and me Yes, the Last Time I Saw Billy Joe Alive It was 1955 Lying down on springtime’s ground We worshiped what we found Two lovers destined to be free Were Billy Joe and me Music and Lyrics: Buffalo Sun (First Runner-up American Songwriters Competition-Folk Ballad) Published By: S.
