Brother Jack - Blue Ribbon Lyrics

Last year's tomato vines
Lay rotten on the ground
When the winter snow melts off
You can see the remains of the day
A window sill whiskey bottle
Holds what's left of February's grief
She wore a yellow gingham dress
To the park that day
Her hair tied up with blue ribbons
Got to be that way
Go ahead and lay her down, down, down
Nothing left for me to say
A stiff July breeze is blowing
Through my dinning room window
I still got hanging up those old curtains of yours
They are pale green with a flower print
They're blowing up now like a great big balloon
It's your ghost standing in the middle of my room
She wore a yellow gingham dress
To the park that day
Her hair tied up with blue ribbons
Got to be that way
Go ahead and lay her down, down, down
Nothing left for me to say
Most nights now I'm sleeping in the yard
I got to see them stars
The back door is propped open here
With an old gasoline can
When it gets too cold to sleep out
I think I'll set the whole thing on fire
She wore a yellow gingham dress
To the park that day
Her hair tied up with blue ribbons
Got to be that way
Go ahead and lay her down, down, down
There's nothing left for me to say
Go ahead and lay me down, down, down
Lay me down
Go ahead and lay us down, down, down
Lay, lay us down
