Two Women Lyrics - Singles - Nora Jane Struthers

John Masters lives in that big white house 

Tobacco is his trade 

They say when he married his pretty Emaline 

Even the horses drank champagne 

In the cool of the morning he walks his fields 

With a pistol and a blade 

Takes his supper across from pretty Emaline 

Then pays his nightly visit to his slaves 

Two women crying tonight 

Two women drying their eyes 

Each one's sorrow is the other one's demise 

Two women crying tonight 

Two women crying tonight

Emaline tried everything she could 

Still the babies never stayed 

She doesn't tell John how much it hurts 

Each time, each time one goes away 

Two women crying tonight 

Two women drying their eyes 

Each one's sorrow is the other one's demise 

Two women crying tonight 

Two women crying tonight 

Hatti lives in fear of his knock on her door 

Happens almost every night 

Then her terror becomes something more 

She's grieving for her unborn child's life 

Two women crying tonight 

Two women drying their eyes 

Each one's sorrow is the other one's demise 

Two women crying tonight 

Two women crying tonight
