Johnny Cash - Red Velvet lyrics

Four months ago in April a day-coach she came down And the dusty autumn winds began to blow Should have known I couldn't hold her livin' out so far from town And the nights to come are long and slow to go If I had known before we kissed You can't keep red velvet on a bordered farm like this Well now she's up and left me she went a walkin' down the line And the dusty autumn winds began to blow All dressed up in red velvet and her high-heel shoes so fine And the nights to come are long and slow to go Well I sit and count December stars while they dance around And the dusty autumn winds began to blow Then I'll call my dog and I'll take the truck and I'll ride on into town And the nights to come are long and slow to go If I had known before we kissed You can't keep red velvet on a bordered farm like this Well now she's up and left me she went a walkin' down the line And the dusty autumn winds began to blow All dressed up in red velvet and her high-heel shoes so fine And the nights to come are long and slow to go
