EMMYLOU HARRIS "Her Hair Was Red" feat. Rodney Crowell
(Amy Allison)
I walked across the bridge to the island And sat down in the grass by the old homestead I listened to the song of the cicadas And thought about the one whose hair was red This is where she gave birth to my father, Back when she was just a newly wed You wouldn't know it looking at this picture But her eyes were blue and her hair was red You wouldn't know she travelled far and wide You wouldn't know she lived her on her own There is so much you'll never know about her So much left to say that's left unsaid But i have got this picture in my memory And her eyes were blue and her hair was red Yes her eyes were baby blue, And her hair was red...
