Walk Through the Bottomland - Lyle Lovett

    A New Jersey lady I knew long ago
    And she was a lady I say
    But she met a cowboy who rode on the rodeo
    And he stole her heart straight away

    The New Jersey lady she loved him so true
    Another love she never had
    But cowboys are lonesome and cowboys are blue
    And they make the ladies so sad

    Sing me a melody
    Sing me a blues
    Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
    The Brazos she's running scared
    She heard the news
    Walk through the bottomland without no sheos

    The New Jersey lady knew he loved her too
    And you know she tried to hold on
    But the rodeo life was the life that he knew
    He had to keep drifting along

    She never married and she never would
    And all of the people they'd say
    The New Jersey lady she just ain't no good
    To follow a cowboy that way

    Sing me a melody
    Sing me a blues
    Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
    The Brazos she's running scared
    She heard the news
    Walk through the bottomland without no sheos

    The lady she'd sing him to sleep in the night
    And then in the morning he'd go
    She loved the darkness and hated the light
    Along with that damn rodeo

    The New Jersey lady the day that he died
    She covered him over with clay
    And feeling the wind in the night as she cried
    She heard the old cowboy say

    Sing me a melody
    Sing me a blues
    Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
    The Brazos she's running scared
    She heard the news
    Walk through the bottomland without no sheos
