Bitterweeds Lyrics - Lonesome And Then Some... A Classic 50th Celebration - Larry Sparks

WILD FLOWERS GREW OUT HER BACKDOOR 

DOWN THE HILL AND TO THE ROAD 

WHERE YOUNG MEN CAME AND PICKED THEM 

AND TO OTHERS THEY WOULD GO 

WATCHING THROUGH A DUSTY WINDOW 

SOMETIMES FROM DUSK TIL DAWN 

WAITING FOR THE MAN SHE FAVORED 

BUT HE NEVER CAME TO CALL 

(CHORUS) 

BITTERWEEDS 

WERE ALL HER GARDEN GREW 

I GUESS SHE ALWAYS KNEW 

THAT BITTERWEEDS 

WERE ALL SHE HAD 

TO LOOK FORWARD TO 

HER NEIGHBORS SAID SHE WAS CRAZY 

CAUSE SHE STARED WHEN THEY WALKED BY 

THEY SAY SHE WORE A BLACK ROSE 

BUT THEY NEVER ASKED HER WHY 

THERE WERE RUMORS NEVER DENIED 

GROWING TALL LIKE HER GRASS 

GOSSIPS SAID SHE WAS WIDOWED 

TALKED 'BOUT A LOVE FROM HER PAST 

(REPEAT CHORUS) 

( INSTRUMENTAL) 

LAST MONDAY CHURCH BELLS WERE RINGING 

DOWN THE HILL SIX MEN WALKED SLOW 

SHE FINALLY LEFT THAT CABIN 

TAKING SECRETS THAT SHE KNOWS 

WATCHING THROUGH A DUSTY WINDOW 

SOMETIMES FROM DUSK TIL DAWN 

WAITING FOR THE MAN SHE FAVORED 

BUT HE NEVER CAME TO CALL 

(REPEAT CHORUS)
