What Was Her Name? - Jeannie C. Riley[00:00:00]
Oh what was her name she used to sit next to me in math[00:00:12]
Had the saddest eyes I'd ever seen and like me she was only sixteen[00:00:19]
What was her name she was so silent and strange[00:00:32]
Then the word leaked out and time brought about the truth and the tragedy began[00:00:38]
She was only sixteen and married and married to a law breaking man[00:00:50]
And lovin' him and trustin' him as only a young girl can[00:01:01]
He looked so exciting and different to the eyes of this innocent child[00:01:13]
He said I'll marry you and carry you through a life exciting and wild[00:01:23]
Oh what was her name I see her so well in my mind[00:01:37]
Especially that day right after school when I saw her for the last time[00:01:44]
The sheriff's car was there she looked so small and alone[00:01:57]
As they put her inside and drove out of sight[00:02:03]
I was scared and ran all the way home[00:02:09]
They were tryin' to make her betray him but she refused to understand[00:02:15]
How the love of her life could be mixed up with a dirty thieving man[00:02:26]
So she never said a word against him and finally they set her free[00:02:37]
When she met him that night she was surprised when he said[00:02:49]
That's the last time you'll squeal on me[00:02:54]
When the first bell rang the next morning she was sittin' on the schoolhouse steps[00:03:00]
Leaning gaist the rail she looked so pale[00:03:11]
I asked a friend if she was asleep[00:03:16]
The last bells rang and still she didn't move as we all started to class[00:03:23]
So June went over to her sayin' come on the last bells has rang[00:03:33]
That's when she saw the knife in her back oh heck what was her name[00:03:39]
