There's a headstone on a hill, no body underneath
The pines they hold the tale, keep it under lock and key
Mmmm, Isabelle
Daddy's only girl, he held her too tight
All of Highland knew, but talking ain't polite
Mmmm, Isabelle
As sure as the Shenandoah flows
The winds of the blue ridge blow
For Isabelle
Mmmm Isabelle
She came into the world and took her mama's life
He never could forget how she stole those hazel eyes
Mmmm, Isabelle
He tried to hold it back but time took its toll
The day he saw that ring was the day he lost control
Mmmm, Isabelle
As sure as the Shenandoah flows
The winds of the blue ridge blow
For Isabelle
Mmmm Isabelle
A stranger in the night is the story that he told
They saw the tears he cried but everybody knows
Mmmm, Isabelle
On a still November night, he went down in smoke
How the house went up in flames no body really knows
Mmmm, Isabelle
Mmmm, Isabelle
