Evening Shade (Remastered) - Dolly Parton[00:00:00]

My train of thought was broken[00:00:06]

By a sudden burst of laughter[00:00:09]

Something badly needed to brighten up the chores[00:00:12]

Seemed old Mrs Bailey had accidentally fell[00:00:20]

In the water being used to scrub the floors[00:00:25]

Now Mrs Bailey was the meanest matron at the home[00:00:31]

She believed in lots of work with little play[00:00:37]

And we laughed till we bent double[00:00:42]

Though we knew we'd get in trouble[00:00:46]

But trouble's all we had at evening shade[00:00:49]

Now evening shade was where[00:00:55]

They claim to teach you understanding[00:00:57]

To teach you love and keep you off the streets[00:01:01]

And all the kids that live here are said to be a problem[00:01:07]

Juvenile delinquents so to speak[00:01:12]

But understanding isn't learned from punishment and anger[00:01:18]

An iron has no gentle touch and love ain't learned from hate[00:01:24]

The reason we were here is 'cause we had no one who cared[00:01:32]

But they cared even less at evening shade[00:01:38]

Little Susan Bradley one night had wet her bed[00:01:47]

Mrs Bailey took the razor strap and beat her half to death[00:01:52]

And I knew that something must be done to put an end to this[00:01:59]

And so I started talking plans with the older kids[00:02:06]

Plans were that Joe Johnson would steal the kerosene[00:02:14]

And I would get some matches when nobody seen[00:02:20]

Beckie Adams would make sure the kids were all outside[00:02:27]

Billy Watson would look out for the evil eye[00:02:33]

Now Mrs Bailey took a nap at three o'clock each day[00:02:40]

We knew that she'd be a'sleeping as the plans got underway[00:02:46]

Now that its all over and the sun is going down[00:02:54]

There's no evening shade 'cause we burned it to the ground[00:03:00]

Evening Shade was burning this black the hill it was[00:03:08]
