Maria walked down in the river bank |
|
Left her clothes hanging in the tree |
|
She stood naked in the cool blue water |
|
She was waiting there for me |
|
I came off the back shift |
|
And I met her on the bank |
|
We laid down in the tall green grass |
|
In the warm september rain |
|
Vincent drives a Mustang |
|
And he wears a lot of gold |
|
He doesn't long for nothing |
|
But somebody to hold |
|
So one day he took Maria |
|
And played the rich mans part |
|
And he won the poor girl with his money |
|
But he could never win her heart |
|
Forbidden love |
|
The sweetest on devine |
|
Forbidden love |
|
Is another mans wine |
|
A wise man he would let her go |
|
A foolish man would drink it slow |
|
A dead man he would never know |
|
Little towns talk |
|
So it wasn't very long |
|
Vincent finally heard just what was going on |
|
Young men don't think with reasons |
|
When his body's filled with rage |
|
So he went and bought himself a gun |
|
And a bullet with my name |
|
I came off the back shift |
|
Like a thousand times before |
|
And I met my sweet Maria |
|
On the river bank once more |
|
She talled me it was over |
|
And that I should leave town |
|
Then a shot went from the darkness |
|
And Maria went down |
|
Maybe it was fate |
|
I didn't die that night |
|
Vincent ran out from the darkness |
|
He held her and he cried |
|
He dropped the gun down at her feet |
|
I picked it up and did the deed |
|
Cleaned my prints off with my sleeve |
|
And walked away |
|
Forbidden love |
|
The sweetest on devine |
|
Forbidden love |
|
Is another mans wine |
|
A wise man he would let her go |
|
A foolish man would drink it slow |
|
And a dead man he would never know |
|
Maria walked down in the river bank |
|
Left her clothes hanging in the tree |
|
She stood naked in the cool blue water |
