Rose Maddox - Long Black Limousine Lyrics

There's a long line of mourners driving down our street

Their fancy cars are such a sight to see

They're all of your rich friends that you knew in the city

And now they finally brought you on to me

When you left home you told me someday you'd be returning

In a fancy car for all the town to see

Now everyone is watching I guess you got your dream

You're riding in a long black limousine

The papers told of how you lost your life the party and the fatal crash that night

The race upon the highway the curve you didn't see

And now you're in that long black limousine

[ organ ]

Through tear dimmed eyes I watch as you ride by

With a chauffer at the wheel dressed up so fine

I'll never love another for my heart and all my dreams

Are with you in that long black limousine
