[00:00:00] An Article from Life - Lefty Frizzell

[00:00:07] Evening sun had just gone down

[00:00:10] On five acres of ground I'm in Georgia Georgia

[00:00:17] When the back door opened silently

[00:00:20] She had made some tea and said here

[00:00:24] This is for you

[00:00:27] Then a man selling magazines

[00:00:31] Stopped And began talking with my wife

[00:00:37] And before he left there well

[00:00:41] That man had sold her

[00:00:44] Twelve months subscriptions to Life

[00:00:50] On page twenty-five it said all New York

[00:00:55] Was alive and really swinging

[00:01:00] Then page 29 it showed a picture of parties and wine

[00:01:09] With people singing

[00:01:13] Well it wasn't long until I saved

[00:01:16] A thousand dollar bill from the harvest

[00:01:22] And I had planned to buy more land

[00:01:26] But my baby hit me where it hurts the hardest

[00:01:32] She said I'd like to see New York

[00:01:36] What could I say except to say that's fine

[00:01:42] And while she was packing my thoughts wandered back and

[00:01:49] That article from Life ran through my mind

[00:01:55] Oh New York was still alive at 2 am

[00:02:00] When we arrived Sunday morning morning

[00:02:05] She said we'd only stay a week

[00:02:08] Cause in seven months our first child would be born

[00:02:15] She knew it meant the world to me

[00:02:18] Still the parties and the wild life changed her mind

[00:02:25] She begged to be set free I said it just can't be

[00:02:32] In anger I took my darlings life

[00:02:39] Read about the harvest crime turn to page 29

[00:02:45] I'm featured in an article from Life
