by Townes Van Zandt



When she had twenty years she turned to her mother

saying Mother, I know that you`ll grieve

but I`ve given my soul to St John the gambler

tomorrow comes time leave

for the hills cannot hold back my sorrow forever

and dead men lay deep `round the door

the only salvation thats mine for the asking

so mother, think on me no more





Winter held high round the mountains breast

and the cold of a thousand snows

lay heaped upon the forests leaf

but she dressed in calico

for a gambler likes his women fancy

fancy she would be

and the fire of her longing would keep way the cold

and her dress was a sight to see





But the road was long beneath the feet

she followed her frozen breath

in search of a certain St John the gambler

stumbling to her death

she heard his laughter right down from the mountains

and danced with her mothers tears

to a funeral drawn a calico

`neath the cross of twenty years





To a funeral drawn a calico

`neath the cross of twenty years
