lyrics

Amy’s Waltz
Do you know, do you know, sweet Amy Jo
A highway man’s daughter, fair
Was all ribbons and curls an innocent girl, turned her back on a life like that

She grew tall, strong and lean, a rare beauty queen
Sang the bitterest sweet refrain
Was the talk of the land then a cad took her hand
Now you don’t want a life like that

Now you don’t want a life like that
You don’t want a life like that
Working the band six feet underground
You don’t want a life like that

Now the torment that raged across the front page
Well it cracked like a loaded gun
They all kick while you’re down and step on your crown
You don’t want a life like that
