Dress Of Laces (LP版) - Nanci Griffith (南西·葛瑞芬)[00:00:00]
And she has a dress of laces[00:00:14]
It's worn in many places[00:00:18]
The shoulder hangs upon her by a thread[00:00:22]
And she has a need for sharin'[00:00:29]
For someone warm and carin'[00:00:33]
And no one sees a heart that's underfed[00:00:37]
Young girl in love[00:00:45]
Young girl in tears[00:00:52]
She hasn't seen the man she loves in years[00:00:59]
And her mother is a waitress[00:01:09]
At the harbour bar good graces[00:01:13]
Where the seamen come a fishin' with their lines[00:01:17]
And it was one of them that caught her[00:01:24]
And left her with a daughter[00:01:27]
Who lives with hate and loving him in mind[00:01:31]
Young girl in love[00:01:40]
Young girl in tears[00:01:47]
She hasn't seen the man she loves in years[00:01:53]
So the young girl goes to the water[00:02:04]
And she calls out for her father[00:02:07]
But she ain't seen the old man in some time[00:02:11]
Yes and he was always boastin'[00:02:18]
Just a drinkin' and a toastin'[00:02:22]
One day he left his family far behind[00:02:26]
Young girl in love[00:02:34]
Young girl in tears[00:02:41]
She hasn't seen the man she loves in years[00:02:48]
So the mother comes home a drinkin'[00:02:58]
With a sailor who's a tinkin' out loud[00:03:02]
That he might stay with them awhile[00:03:07]
So she loads her mother's pistol[00:03:13]
And she shoots him as he whistles[00:03:16]
A song about a sailor's life in style[00:03:20]
Young girl in love[00:03:29]
Young girl in tears[00:03:36]
She kills the only man she's loved in years[00:03:42]
And with him dies her hopes her dreams her fears[00:03:53]
And she has a dress of laces[00:04:03]
It's worn in many places[00:04:07]
The shoulder hangs upon her by a thread[00:04:11]
And she has a need for sharin'[00:04:18]
For someone warm and carin'[00:04:21]
And no one sees a heart that's underfed[00:04:25]
And no one sees a heart that's underfed[00:04:32]
