[00:24.14]Mr. John Lee what is happening to me
[00:36.16]last time I saw you
[00:39.91]bringing fire wood into your house
[00:48.03]from a tree
[00:50.41]
[00:54.60]but I didn't love you
[00:58.35]quite as much
[01:00.35]as sweet Marie
[01:04.66]
[01:06.73]the sherriff he never
[01:10.67]had to come
[01:12.79]to wade through the water
[01:16.80]swamps
[01:17.92]and some strange mystery
[01:22.55]
[01:25.05]to find Marie
[01:27.80]
[01:32.11]Me clad in Velveteen
[01:38.11]red lips and high heeled shoes
[01:41.61]i carried you
[01:44.17]your weight for a long time
[01:50.39]through years and towns and took refuge
[01:56.77]and I carried your weight upon mine
[02:05.77]
[02:21.83]Marie got married
[02:25.52]to a man
[02:27.46]and I found your footsteps
[02:30.83]in summer lands
[02:33.52]to your lady
[02:39.19]
[02:40.25]Marie has a daughter
[02:43.19]and a new city now
[02:46.38]and your skin is soft and tired
[02:52.69]from the years
[02:54.80]
[02:58.54]but your happy now
[03:00.72]
[03:05.34]Me clad in Velveteen
[03:11.22]red lips and high heeled shoes
[03:14.84]I carried you
[03:17.59]your weight for a long time
[03:24.16]through years and towns and took refuge
[03:30.16]and I carried your weight upon mine
[03:40.34]
