June or September

Blaze Foley

CIt was June or September I Fdon't rightly Cremember
The first time I G7laid eyes on Cyou
It was June or September FSeattle or CDenver
The first time I G7laid eyes on Cyou

You wore black sliver stockings with a Fseam down the Cback
Your dress was G7split to your Cthighs
And your hair was a place for a Fdozen red Croses
After it G7smothered your Cside

And you dealt in the card games Fin smokey Csaloons
Haunted you G7saw the sun Crise
But as soon as I leave you I Flooked to your Cphotograph
Teardrops would G7swell in your Ceyes

There were three tiny daughters that Flived with your Cmother
You only G7wanted their Cbest
But you could not give them the Fthings that you Cwanted to
You only G7wanted their Cbest
