The Horse Accident (In Which a Girl Was All But Killed)

The Horse Accident
Appaulacian dust from the horse that she was riding
made it it hard to see her thru the tepid summer air.
I wore my finest derby hat to gather her attention
and I wanted nothing more than to follow her somewhere.
It took her near a year to break the shackels of a past love.
I said she would never hurt as long as she is with me.
Those cold winter walls thru a springtime window
There is warm hearts living where you would never think they would be.
Oh, Lord let me die first I can not be without her.
Hope I never live to see her cascet lined with lace.
She deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer.
If you need another worker you can take me in her place.
(pause)…
I heard the people talk about a girl falling from her horse.
Down from the saddle in a terrible display
and the mud stained the dirt-- Dirt had skined the girl
the girl that they didn’t think she would live another day.
Oh, Lord let me die first I can not be without her.
I hope I never live to see her cascet lined with lace.
She deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer.
If you need another worker you can take me in her place.
(pause)…
She deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer.
If you need another worker you can take me in her place.
Oh, Lord let me die first I can not be without her.
I hoped I never live to see her cascet lined with lace.
She deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer.
If you need another worker you can take me in her place.
Oh, Lord let me die first …

Oh, Lord let me die first …
