Juanita Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

(Chris Hillman - Gram Parson) 

No affection were the words that stuck on my mind 

When she walked out on me for the very last time 

Oh mama, sweet mama can you tell me what to say 

I don't know what I've done to be treated this way. 

In a cold dirty room that's where I found myself 

With a bottle of wine and some pills off the shelf 

Oh mama, sweet mama can you tell me what to say 

I don't know what I've done and I'm feeling so ashamed. 

--- Instrumental --- 

Then an angel appeared she was just seventeen 

In a dirty old town with a conscious so clean 

Oh mamma, sweet mamma can you tell me what to say 

She's brought back the life that I once threw away.
