Walk Through the Bottomland Lyrics

A New Jersey lady I knew long ago

And she was a lady I say

But she met a cowboy who rode on

the rodeo

And he stole her heart straight away

The New Jersey lady she loved him

so true

Another love she never had

But cowboys are lonesome and

cowboys are blue

And they make the ladies so sad

Sing me a melody

Sing me a blues

Walk through the bottomland without

no shoes

The Brazos she's running scared

She heard the news

Walk through the bottomland without

no shoes

The New Jersey lady knew he loved

her too

And you know she tried to hold on

But the rodeo life was the life that

he knew

He had to keep drifting along

She never married and she

never would

And all of the people they'd say

The New Jersey lady she just ain't

To follow a cowboy that way

Sing me a melody

Sing me a blues

Walk through the bottomland without

no shoes

The Brazos she's running scared

She heard the new

Walk through the bottomland without

no shoes

The lady she'd sing him to sleep in

the night

And then in the morning he'd go

She loved the darkness and hated

the light

Along with that damn rodeo

The New Jersey lady the day that

he died

She covered him over with clay

And feeling the wind in the night as

she cried

She heard the old cowboy say

Sing me a melody

Sing me a blues

Walk through the bottomland without

no shoes

The Brazos she's running scared

She heard the new

Walk through the bottomland without

no shoes
