Sweet Verona - Della Mae

Verona left when she was only 16

She gave no reason but needing to fly

She joined up with a traveling band, and lady luck she took her hand

Left all of her demons behind

She wove her unabashed story

All throughout the south

Verona she carried the truth of a child

She was a gypsy queen, her hair a raven sheen

She made love so strong and wild

Now they re a bringing her home

Sweet Verona

Got her very own box in which to lay

Now they re a bringing her home

From Louisiana

Hallelujah lord she s home to stay

I kept the postcards that she sent me

She passed through our way only once more

When Mama died she stood just outside the church

But she was gone when I ran out the door

Now they re a bringin her home

Sweet Verona

Got her very own box in which to lay

Now they re a bringing her home

From Louisiana

Hallelujah lord she s home to stay

Don t know how she died, they said they found her that way

Covered in jewels that she bought at the pawn

They said her fire burned so bright, that it

It kept her alight, and it burned till she was gone

Now they re a bringin her home

Sweet Verona

Got her very own box in which to lay

Now they re a bringing her home

From Louisiana

Hallelujah lord she s home to stay
