Phil Va**ar - The Ballad Of Pretty Mae lyrics

The wind is high, you can hear it cry All the way to the cold cold moon And I hurt inside, in my heart tonight I feel like crying too Eleven months and a day Was all the judge had to say They took young Dan and locked him away Yeah, weed was his crime And young Dan did his time Thinking about his pretty girl Mae When they gave back his clothes And put him out on the road Pretty Mae was waiting in her car There’s all kinds of free But the best had to be That first night back in pretty Mae’s arms Well, they’ve shut up in a trailer backed up To the sandbar and weeping willow creek The creek ran low, the summer pa**ed slow There’s never been a love so deep Hey hey hey hey hey hey yo Hey hey hey hey yo Hey hey hey hey hey hey yo Hey hey hey hey yo Now the beauty Ray He headed back for pretty Mae Couldn’t stand to see her with that ex con Half a bottle of Scotch Cradled in his clutch He headed out there with his blue lights on Thirty on six Thinking that would do the trick He run that ba*tard of down the road Ray had his way Getting on with pretty Mae But first that ex con had to go Hey hey hey hey hey hey yo Hey hey hey hey yo Hey hey hey hey hey hey yo Hey hey hey hey yo Well Dan said to Ray “What brings you out this way Pretty Mae is just fixing up some grub” But Ray was on a tear And pretty Mae could hear him swear “Just kept shouting, and wave with that gun” No time to think Underneath the sink Pretty Mae kept a pistol of her own Yeah, shots were fired Broken gla**, a blown tire But only the willow would know They found a cruiser car An empty trailer by the sandbar And not another clue left behind Yeah that beauty Ray Young Dan and pretty Mae Somebody lives, somebody moves like we die Hey hey hey hey hey hey yo Hey hey hey hey yo Hey hey hey hey hey hey yo Hey hey hey hey yo The wind is high, you can hear it cry All the way to the cold cold moon
