Velma Lyrics by Jonathan Byrd

Wildflowers

2001

Wind in the cypress, sand on the ground
Falling down Velma, falling down
The daughter of a farmer, she ran away to town
Falling down Velma, falling down

You poisoned your mama, then you watched her fall
Falling down Velma, falling down
Your medicine is calling, can't you hear your medicine call?
Falling down Velma, falling down

You married my granddaddy, him I never knew
Falling down Velma, falling down
About the time he met me was about the time he met you
Falling down Velma, falling down

Falling down

The you killed Stuart Taylor, someone had to know
Falling down Velma, falling down
Every man you been with, one by one they go
Falling down Velma, falling down

Once you take to killing, your life ain't never the same
Falling down Velma, falling down
Now they have your number, now they know your name
Falling down Velma, falling down

Falling down Velma, falling down
Falling down, baby
Falling down Velma, falling down
Falling down Velma
Falling down
