Sweet Jessie Brown Lyrics - Blessed Or Damned - Dale Watson

She used to dream that She would be a celebrity and known for miles around 

She'd dress up in her linens She'd sit and pretend She was a queen in Her gown 

But I was just a boy from down the road and I was known as trouble in town 

Thought to be the man who took the hand and changed the plans of sweet Jessie Brown 

[Chorus] 

Sweet Jessie Brown 

Would you look at you now 

She graduated early and to prep school we new surely 

She was bound 

Everybody tried to warn 

Her I would be the one to try to bring 

Her down 

Because I told 

Her there's a hole world out there for the two of 

Us and it's waitin' to be found 

And knew to be the man who would take the hand 

And change the plans of sweet Jessie Brown 

[Chorus] 

On a road bound for nowhere a baby's cryin' was the only sound 

Then the baby stopped it's crying and Jessie's world came tumblin' to the ground 

I found a pill box on the dresser and note that She died holding in Her hand 

It read I goodbye dear I love you and I'm sorry signed Jessie Brown 

[Chorus]
