[ Featuring Gillian Welch ]
You told me that you loved me
And that would never change
Now I'm looking in the mirror
And I know that I'm to blame
'Cause it's all gone, babe, like the song says
Fallen from her curls
Here stands a woman
Where there once was a girl
Come a long way from Danville
Where they wear that Danville curl
The mother and the father
Who kept me in their care
They're both gone like the ribbons
That I used to wear
But it's alright, Ma, things got tight, Pa
So I went and pawned the pearls
Here stands a woman
Where there once was a girl
I come a long way from Danville
Where they wear that Danville curl
You told me that you loved me
And that would never change
But I'm looking in the mirror
I know I'm not the same
'Cause it's all gone, babe, like the song says
I been all around this world
And here stands a woman
