The devil gave her food stamps for her soul She drank her soup n then she ate the bowl She has no past, no future too An eternal present, rare n true Her eyes reflect the burnin of the coal Her long black braids lay heavy on her breast She's followin the sundown goin west A monument, can't help but love it No argument, she's high above it You'll leave your crib n go out on the quest When you're low n lonesome n you don't know what to do She will make you feel as good as new Her silent gestures make you wanna hide Free spirit in a troubled mind She'll greet you with a rose of red N bite you on your shoulder blade You've searched for gold, diamonds you have found The birds they sing in unison tonight Tomorrow morning they'll set out for flight The whistlin winds in harmony Will lift their wings over the sea While she'll put on her coat n fly her kite When you're low n lonesome n you don't know what to do She will make you feel as good as new With laughter in her cheeks she whispers yessss As she slips on a wedding dress Her parents n her brothers Her past time friends n lovers Carry you n place you in your nest A Prairie home carved in heavy rock On the fireplace an untuned mantel clock Long mornings in your bed of tar There is no life outside there are No windows n the doors they're all locked When you're low n lonesome n you don't know what to do She will make you feel as good as new She never looks you in the eye straight As she lays down your dinner plate With smoke in mouth n heavy breath She sings a song of wrath till death Do you apart before it gets too late From better to good from good to bad to worse The way you look, you need a nurse As accurate as π You're getting ready for to die She'll follow your hearse n cast her blissful curse When you're low n lonesome n you don't know what to do She will make you feel as good as new If you're goin down to Germany Say hello to the most beautiful damsel I ever did see A moment of reality Will last you for eternity The bitter sweetness of her memory When you're low n lonesome n you don't know what to do She will make you feel as good as new
