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

My train of thought was broken by a sudden burst of laughter[00:00:06]

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 they claim to teach you understanding[00:00:55]

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[00:01:13]

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[00:02:00]

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 it's all over and the sun is going down[00:02:54]

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

Evening shade was burning the light the hill is warn[00:03:07]
