I
met a woman in
West
Texas, she had been left
out there all alone.
I met a woman in
West
Texas, she had been left out
there all alone
I found a hookin' cow crossin'
where I wasn't even known
She fell for me, a raggedy stranger,
standing in the drizzling rain.
She fell for me, a raggedy stranger,
standing in the drizzling rain.
She said,
Daddy, I'll follow you,
though I don't know your name.
We snuck closely together,
muddy water round our feet.
We snugged closely together with
muddy water around our feet.
No place to call home, wet,
hungry, and no place to eat.
She said, care for you,
Daddy, but I love no man
better than I do myself.
She said, I care for you,
Daddy, but I love no man better
than I do myself.
But I have a mind to care,
a heart to love like anyone else.
The wolves howl till midnight,
while I groan till day.
The wolves howl till midnight,
while I groan till day.
The man in the moon looked down on us,
but had nothing to say.
