Mr. John Lee (The Velveteen Rose) lyrics
Song information
Artist: Marissa Nadler Album: The Saga Of Mayflower May
Lyrics
Mr. john lee knew about your family You came when I was lonesome In the fairest of the spring But I did not care for your wedding ring But I did care for marie
Farewell, my sweet Bowled you off and took me How my hair was a raven And my eyes were shining bright But I did not love you quite as well As your darling loving wife
But every time that you see Your velveteen rose Then think of how you once called me Your velveteen rose
Mr. john lee 'Twas an act that you told me The burning thoughts you harboured me The sheriff found your sweet marie Floating by the river weeds In the fields of green
But every time that you see Your velveteen rose Then think of how you once called me Your velveteen rose
