Lee Hazlewood - Dirtnap Stories lyrics

[Verse 1:] There was a woman who loved her man More than she loved herself Dirtnap one day took him away Left her screaming for help [Chorus:] And I said how does it feel[x2] Like all God's promises are broken[x3] It's like dying on Christmas day[x2] Before all gifts are open [Verse 2:] I knew a man who had a friend He loved in his own special way He held his friend close in his arms And his friend just melt away [Chorus] [Verse 3:] I had a love, a love of all loves But the dirtnap covered her well And the pain from the knife that cut us apart Won't stop on this side of hell [Chorus]
