sweet emmylou

sweet emmylou

i blew the dust off you

your the only one who

knows what i'm going through

and like the hickory wind

he's gone again

sweet emmylou

sweet emmylou

as the needle run through you

the way the pain shines through

well i know you've been there too

those sad melodies

oh how they comfort me

sweet emmylou

and i hate to bother you again

last time you helped

my poor heart mend

when he came along

so i put your records all away

thought happy songs

was all i'd play

but i was wrong

oh i was wrong

sweet emmylou

what are we gonna do

it's only been a week or two

and he's found someone new

looks like it's gonna be

another night with you and me

sweet emmylou

sweet emmylou

sweet emmylou

sweet emmylou
