Della Mae - Sweet Verona lyrics
(C. Woodsmith) Verona left when she was only 16 She gave no reason but needing to fly She joined up with a traveling band, and lady luck she took her hand Left all of her demons behind She wove her unabashed story All throughout the south Verona she carried the truth of a child She was a gypsy queen, her hair a raven sheen She made love so strong and wild Now theyre a bringing her home Sweet Verona Got her very own box in which to lay Now theyre a bringing her home From Louisiana Hallelujah lord shes home to stay I kept the postcards that she sent me She pa**ed through our way only once more When Mama died she stood just outside the church But she was gone when I ran out the door Now theyre a bringin her home Sweet Verona Got her very own box in which to lay Now theyre a bringing her home From Louisiana Hallelujah lord shes home to stay Dont know how she died, they said they found her that way Covered in j**els that she bought at the pawn They said her fire burned so bright, that it It kept her alight, and it burned till she was gone Now theyre a bringin her home Sweet Verona Got her very own box in which to lay Now theyre a bringing her home From Louisiana Hallelujah lord shes home to stay
