Crooked Road And The Lyrics

song lyrics Crooked Road And The Briar lyrics Down the crooked road a ways A child s shadow hiding in the briar Tending to a twisted heart that s bent and broken Wounded and abandoned left amongst the rotted root to rot Moon, crimson moon Rose marie s walking down the crooked road a ways All aglow, her fair white skin Portrait of beauty, angel to many Hears the hush crying from the briar Reaches in her hand to see what s the matter And is dragged through the darkness Beneath the lonely cypress The town s beloved daughter Carried to her death in the turbid waters And set afloat downstream Whole town erupts, bursts into flame Parties go a-searching down the crooked road a ways Find old rufus there drunk and asleep Fishing by the water must have killed our beloved daughter Can t hold back these waves of anger Tie a rope around his neck See if he still hollers Another innocent soul hangs over the briar song lyrics
