Rock 'N' Roll Widow

Album: Wishbone Four (1973)

  • It happened in an open field
    Down in a southern state
    And no one knows the reason why
    Some would say it's hate
    They shot the guy who sold the dogs
    It came as some surprise
    And to the lady standing there
    Brought sadness to her eyes

    She's a rock and roll widow living in this town
    Another rock and roll widow since they gunned him down

    The heat of the day still hung around
    As night began to fall
    The sheriff came up from the town
    In answer to the call
    The band played on regardless
    Not knowing what to do
    As people ran from side to side
    Just looking for a clue

    She's a rock and roll widow living in this town
    Another rock and roll widow since they gunned him down Writer/s: ANDREW POWELL, DAVID TURNER, MARTIN TURNER, STEVE UPTON
