Cold, Cold Earth
Allison Moorer Song Lyrics
(Allison Moorer) The night was hot and steamy And crickets played their tune Everyone was sleeping Under an August moon Except one man that sat awake Slowly going mad Regretting that he'd thrown away The only love he had A slave to the bottle He'd driven his family to leave A wife and two daughters He treated so terribly Drunk with grief and loneliness He wasn't thinking straight He knew he couldn't live unless They pardoned his mistakes He went into the city To try to make amends Asked his love for pity But she would not give in Overwhelmed with sadness He reached for his gun And took her life along with his Before the morning sun Now they are lying In the cold, cold earth Such a sad, sad story Such a sad, sad world |
