《What Was Her Name?》歌词

[00:00:00] What Was Her Name? - Jeannie C. Riley

[00:00:12] Oh what was her name she used to sit next to me in math

[00:00:19] Had the saddest eyes I'd ever seen and like me she was only sixteen

[00:00:32] What was her name she was so silent and strange

[00:00:38] Then the word leaked out and time brought about the truth and the tragedy began

[00:00:50] She was only sixteen and married and married to a law breaking man

[00:01:01] And lovin' him and trustin' him as only a young girl can

[00:01:13] He looked so exciting and different to the eyes of this innocent child

[00:01:23] He said I'll marry you and carry you through a life exciting and wild

[00:01:37] Oh what was her name I see her so well in my mind

[00:01:44] Especially that day right after school when I saw her for the last time

[00:01:57] The sheriff's car was there she looked so small and alone

[00:02:03] As they put her inside and drove out of sight

[00:02:09] I was scared and ran all the way home

[00:02:15] They were tryin' to make her betray him but she refused to understand

[00:02:26] How the love of her life could be mixed up with a dirty thieving man

[00:02:37] So she never said a word against him and finally they set her free

[00:02:49] When she met him that night she was surprised when he said

[00:02:54] That's the last time you'll squeal on me

[00:03:00] When the first bell rang the next morning she was sittin' on the schoolhouse steps

[00:03:11] Leaning gaist the rail she looked so pale

[00:03:16] I asked a friend if she was asleep

[00:03:23] The last bells rang and still she didn't move as we all started to class

[00:03:33] So June went over to her sayin' come on the last bells has rang

[00:03:39] That's when she saw the knife in her back oh heck what was her name
