Sweet Emmylou

Sweet Emmylou,

I blew the dust off you

You're 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 runs 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

Well, I hate to bother you again

Last time you helped my poor heart mend

Then he came along

So I put your records all away

Thought happy songs was all

I'd playBut

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 of you and me

Sweet Emmylou

Well, I hate to bother you again

Last time you helped my poor heart mend

Then he came along

So I put your records all away

Thought happy songs was all

I'd playBut

I was wrong, oh,

I was wrong

Sweet Emmylou, sweet

Emmylou, sweet

Emmylou
