Adelaide

He fell in love with a reservation girl
During the time of the sugarbeet harvest
They moved out west to the coast
Where he built her a bed 
Made of shagbark from sherwood forest
Things were good until she told him good-bye,
Said they were better off living separate lives
And 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 and our bags
And American undressed herself in front of her eyes
My sister told me, my sister told me
That there's 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, oh that you were right

She was danglin' her legs over the little Colorado river
Asking the last bit of sunlight in all of Arizona told me, Arizona told me
So I asked her if she wanted to fly
If 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 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 tried he said underneath his breath, I tried

Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less
Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less
I tried he said underneath his breath, I tried

Adelaide you know you're just no good for me
You know it's just so hard to see
That you were right, oh 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, oh that you were right

Oh that you were right
