Walk Through the Bottomland

[00:01.36] A new jersey lady I knew long ago
[00:15.03] And she was a lady I say
[00:18.84] But she met a cowboy who rode on the rodeo
[00:25.44] And he stole her heart straight away
[00:29.52] The new jersey lady she loved him so true
[00:35.68] Another love she never had
[00:39.78] But cowboys are lonesome and cowboys are blue
[00:46.00] And they make the ladies so sad
[00:51.74] Sing me a melody
[00:54.90] Sing me a blues
[00:57.07] Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
[01:02.16] The brazos she's running scared
[01:05.57] She heard the news
[01:07.47] Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
[01:13.33] The new jersey lady knew he loved her too
[01:20.40] And you know she tried to hold on
[01:24.83] But the rodeo life was the life that he knew
[01:31.40] He had to keep drifting along
[01:35.42] She never married and she never would
[01:41.83] And all of the people they'd say
[01:45.84] The new jersey lady she just ain't no good
[01:52.64] To follow a cowboy that way
[01:57.01] Sing me a melody
[02:00.76] Sing me a blues
[02:03.38] Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
[02:08.56] The brazos she's running scared
[02:12.39] She heard the news
[02:14.77] Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
[02:19.55] The lady she'd sing him to sleep in the night
[02:26.58] And then in the morning he'd go
[02:30.54] She loved the darkness and hated the light
[02:36.82] Along with that damn rodeo
[02:42.32] The new jersey lady the day that he died
[02:47.68] She covered him over with clay
[02:51.87] And feeling the wind in the night as she cried
[02:58.24] She heard the old cowboy say
[03:03.16] Sing me a melody
[03:06.55] Sing me a blues
[03:08.94] Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
[03:14.60] The brazos she's running scared
[03:18.26] She heard the news
[03:20.01] Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
[03:26.27]
