Dale Watson - Sweet Jessie Brown lyrics

She used to dream that She would be a celebrity and known for miles around She'd dress up in her linens She'd sit and pretend She was a queen in Her gown But I was just a boy from down the road and I was known as trouble in town Thought to be the man who took the hand and changed the plans of sweet Jessie Brown (Chorus) Sweet Jessie Brown Would you look at you now She graduated early and to prep school we new surely She was bound Everybody tried to warn Her I would be the one to try to bring Her down Because I told Her there's a hole world out there for the two of Us and it's waitin' to be found And knew to be the man who would take the hand And change the plans of sweet Jessie Brown (Chorus) On a road bound for nowhere a baby's cryin' was the only sound Then the baby stopped it's crying and Jessie's world came tumblin' to the ground I found a pill box on the dresser and note that She died holding in Her hand It read I goodbye dear I love you and I'm sorry signed Jessie Brown (Chorus)
