Lover - LILIUM

She got dresses and left that morning

In her hair the autumn rain

She didn’t leave a number

Wouldn’t tell me her last name

She said don’t fall in love with me

If you want to be my lover

Chased her up through Johnson City

Led a bloodhound by the trail

I followed her to Harlan

Where the coal dust showed her trail

She said don’t fall in love with me

If you want to be my lover

Her heart ain’t stuck on Dixie

Where the roads are paved in bone

Her heart don’t hinge on Dixie

And her words are sticks and stones

She said don’t fall in love with me

If you want to be my lover

Caught that girl up on mountain

Fed her earth beneath the clouds

I didn’t hear the thunder

Through her pleas, they weren’t too loud

She said don’t fall in love with me

If you want to be my lover
