Ellen Moseley songs
Here's a good old-fashioned murder ballad for ya....
Don't You Go
I.
. The day was hot, that old sun beatin’ down
I was running errands for my Ma
comin’ back from the grocery
toting a big ol’ sack in each arm
he pulled up beside me as I walked down the road
“say can I help you with your heavy load?”
he looked a little shady, truth be told
but I stepped in for a ride
CHORUS:
oh, don’t you go
go off with somebody you don’t know
II.
I says to him, “you’re not from here”
“no, I’m just passing through, my dear”
“you sure are pretty, that much is clear”
‘twas then I smelled the whiskey on his breath
“my Ma’s expecting her groceries soon
you can let me off up ahead”
“no, I don’t think so, pretty girl….
you and me gonna have a lil’ fun instead”
CHORUS
III.
that milk did shake and those eggs did crack
when he threw me down upon my back
and commenced the brutal attack
that would take my tender life
CHORUS
IV.
so all you girls you best beware
them tales about a stranger are true
look behind the smile and you’ll see a stare
that reveals what he’d like to do to you
CHORUS x 2
