Walk Throught the Bottomland - Lyle Lovett
C F G C
A New Jersey lady I knew long ago
F Em G7
And she was a lady I say
C F G C
But she met a cowboy who rode on a rodeo
F G C
And he stole her heart straight away
C F G C
The New Jersey lady she loved him so true
F Em G7
Another love she never had
C F G C
But cowboys are lonesome and cowboys are blue
F G C
And they make the ladies so sad
F C
Chorus: Sing me a melody
F C
Sing me a blues
F C G C
Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
F C
The Brazos she's running scared
F C
She heard the news
F C G C
Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
C F G C
The New Jersey lady knew he loved her too
F Em G7
And you know she tried to hold on
C F G C
But the rodeo life was the life that he knew
F G C
He had to keep drifting along
C F G C
She never married and she never would
F Em G7
And all of the people they'd say
C F G C
The New Jersey lady she just ain't no good
F G C
To follow a cowboy that way
Chorus
F C G C
The lady she'd sing him to sleep in the night
F Em G
And in the morning he'd go
F C G C
She loved the darkness and hated the light
D G
Along with that damn rodeo
C F G C
The New Jersey lady the day that he died
F Em G7
She covered him over with clay
C F G C
And feeling the wind in the night as she cried
F G C
She heard the old cowboy say
Chorus
