Emma Rumble - Graham Lindsey

Emma Rumble Emma Rumble

Your black hair’s hanging low

Your naked arms are glistening

And frozen from the snow

Emma Rumble Emma tell me

For if you don’t let me know

My heart’s already taken

So tomorrow I will go

Emma gladly I’ll stay with thee

Only if just for tonight

I will read the lines between your palms

Just move into the light

And let it bathe you let me know you

You who have been so confined

By the beauty that you suffer’s

Why your hair is growing white

Your hair is growing white

Emma Rumble Emma Rumble

Why do you stir in such distress?

Late in the evening you were sleeping

You wer dreaming I should guess

Do not touch me do not hold m

You cried it was useless

And implied to me through wild eyes

Those things you can’t confess

Emma sadly I must leave thee

As my true love waits alone

On the porch step in the moonlight

She looks out and through the cold

If I kiss you I must kill you

You told me in gentle tones

Emma Rumble do not wait for me

I’ll see you down the road

In my hometown the sheriff found

My true love in the snow

Her body lay beaten there

And covered in your clothes

Emma Rumble Emma Rumble

I cry as my shotgun loads

The night is hot and heavy now

And I’m walking down the road

I’m walking down the road
