Lyrics

We parted strangers in the summer night
Southern lady, and I.
We had made plans for California,
They got lost out in the rain.
So much time was spent in worrying
Bout the things we didn’t know.
See what that has done for anyone,
And you can say I told you so.

Leave me now, let me alone.
I’m tired, Lord, I’ve got no home -
Southern Lady.

Yellow roses up on the window sill.
Sun shade’s free to let the light shine in.
And the yard is full of leaves, it’s October now.
It always is, with you and me.

Leave me now, let me alone.
I’m tired, Lord, I’ve got no home -
Southern Lady.
