Stonewall Jackson - Waitin' For Dawn Till Dawn lyrics

When I was young and foolish and always on the go

I met up with this beauty out on the western coast

I learned that she was married and that her name was Dawn

But to know that she was married didn't send me home

We'd lead in secred places all along the bay

I realized it wasn't right for man to live that way

We lived high on his money as though it was our own

And cared not how it broke his heart to wait for Dawn till dawn

[ dobro ]

When he ran out of money his wife ran out of time

So that's when she divorced him at last she was all mine

But I've worked long for hours so far into the night

To buy Dawn's pretty dresses so short and oh so tight

For weeks now I've been searching for a work with better pay

At last a thousand that she spend I don't see how I'll pay

It must be time for reaping the wild seeds that I've sown

At three a.m. I'm weeping as I wait for Dawn till dawn

Yes at three a.m. I'm weeping as I wait for Dawn till dawn
