Evening Shade(Album 2002 remaster)) - Dolly Parton[00:00:00]

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

By a sudden burst of laughter[00:00:08]

Something badly needed to brighten up the chores[00:00:11]

Seemed old Mrs Bailey had accidentally fell[00:00:18]

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

Now Mrs Bailey was[00:00:31]

The meanest matron at the home[00:00:33]

She believed in lots of work with little play[00:00:36]

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

Though we knew we'd get in trouble[00:00:45]

But trouble's all we had at evening shade[00:00:48]

Now evening shade was where[00:00:54]

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

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

And all the kids that live[00:01:07]

Here are said to be a problem[00:01:08]

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

But understanding isn't learned[00:01:18]

From punishment and anger[00:01:21]

An iron has no gentle touch[00:01:24]

And love ain't learned from hate[00:01:27]

The reason we were here is[00:01:31]

'Cause we had no one who cared[00:01:34]

But they cared even less at evening shade[00:01:37]

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

Mrs Bailey took the razor strap[00:01:52]

And beat her half to death[00:01:55]

And I knew that something[00:01:59]

Must be done to put an end to this[00:02:01]

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

Plans were that Joe Johnson[00:02:14]

Would steal the kerosene[00:02:15]

And I would get some matches when nobody seen[00:02:19]

Beckie Adams would make sure[00:02:26]

The kids were all outside[00:02:29]

Billy Watson would look out for the evil eye[00:02:32]

Now Mrs Bailey took a nap[00:02:40]

At three o'clock each day[00:02:43]

We knew that she'd be a'sleeping[00:02:46]

As the plans got underway[00:02:48]

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

There's no evening shade[00:02:59]

'Cause we burned it to the ground[00:03:02]
