lyrics

Annabelle

Annabelle Annabelle what’s on your mind
The war is empty and the ghosts are tired
tell me again just where you’ve been
through the pines, down by the stream

Annabelle tell me why do you cry
On the lords day down by the riverside
The air is heavy and the sun is high
Can’t you smell the flowers by the mountain side

Left bleeding Kansas for a better life
Traveling west where the gold might strike
Arrived at camp with a vengeful hand
I should know because I’m her man

Annabelle just one more day
Annabelle take my gun away

Times are tough for railroad man
Miles of track with these bloodied hands
Most days I wake and can hardly stand
Tobacco stained, bottle in hand

Annabelle I’ll take you away
Annabelle just one more day

The man accused me, he had no right
While playing cards upon that night
The tables turned, it was my deal
The room was smoky and the air was stale

I got up and turned my back
And through the fog his gun it flashed
The noise it broke within the camp
Annabelle walked in as she heard that crack

Annabelle I’m sorry we stayed
Annabelle will find her own way
Annabelle flowers my grave
Annabelle flowers my grave.
