Adelaide
from Simmerkane II
He fell in love with a reservation girl
During the time of the sugar beet harvest
They moved out est to the coast where be built her a bed
Made of shagbark from Sherwood Forest
And life was good until she told him goodbye
Said they were better off livin' separate lives
And maybe they was
Well 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
We left Worcester with out boots and our bags
And American undressed her in front of our 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 run from it all
Like she did
Well 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
Adelaide you know you're just no good for me
You know it's just so hard to see that you were right
You were right
She was danglin' her legs over the little Colorado River
Catchin' 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
Anywhere at all
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
Adelaide you know you're just no good for me
You know it's just so hard to see that you were right
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've 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
