1
A New Jersey lady I knew long ago
2
And she was a lady I say
3
But she met a cowboy who rode on the rodeo
4
And he stole her heart straight away
5
The New Jersey lady she loved him so true
6
Another love she never had
7
But cowboys are lonesome and cowboys are blue
8
And they make the ladies so sad
9
Sing me a melody
10
Sing me a blues
11
Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
12
The Brazos she's running scared
13
She heard the news
14
Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
15
The New Jersey lady knew he loved her too
16
And you know she tried to hold on
17
But the rodeo life was the life that he knew
18
He had to keep drifting along
19
She never married and she never would
20
And all of the people they'd say
21
The New Jersey lady she just ain't no good
22
To follow a cowboy that way
23
Sing me a melody
24
Sing me a blues
25
Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
26
The Brazos she's running scared
27
She heard the news
28
Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
29
The lady she'd sing him to sleep in the night
30
And then in the morning he'd go
31
She loved the darkness and hated the light
32
Along with that damn rodeo
33
The New Jersey lady the day that he died
34
She covered him over with clay
35
And feeling the wind in the night as she cried
36
She heard the old cowboy say
37
Sing me a melody
38
Sing me a blues
39
Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
40
The Brazos she's running scared
41
She heard the news
42
Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
43
Sing me a melody
44
Sing me a blues
45
Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
46
The Brazos she's running scared
47
She heard the news
48
Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
49
Won't you walk through the bottomland without no shoes?
