Montgomery Church - Daisy Lee

Let me tell you children three bout this cheatin' Daisy Lee
It's a tale they're too ashamed to tell
She robbed the town-folk blind, made many a grown man cry
She fooled your ever-lovin' Dad as well

If you've played a slot machine well you'll know just what I mean
You can sit right back and lose all track of time
Little more than a while, she'll leave you with a smile
And a hopeless, helpless, senseless state of mind

Shake the tree, shake the tree
C'mon now Daisy Lee
Watch them secrets fallin' to the ground
Ain't no lovin' on her mind
She just ain't the settlin' kind
It's time to head onto another town

Well her bells ring out a whistle like a bird caught in a thistle
Her eyes they warm like summer rain
But before you knew which way or who or what you'd have to say
Daisy Lee she was up and gone again

Shake the tree, shake the tree
C'mon now Daisy Lee
Watch them secrets fallin' to the ground
Ain't no lovin' on her mind
She just ain't the settlin' kind
It's time to head onto another town

Her legend it did grow like a winter ground of snow
Every town more frozen than the last
Now she's crossin' state lines on a broken man's dime
Just a dancin' little speck on the horizon

Shake the tree, shake the tree
C'mon now Daisy Lee
Watch them secrets fallin' to the ground
Ain't no lovin' on her mind
She just ain't the settlin' kind
It's time to head onto another town

Well they tried to track her down, put her face all over town
But Daisy she played them for a fool
She's covered all her tracks now she won't be coming back
She got away with a fully weighted mule

Shake the tree, shake the tree
C'mon now Daisy Lee
Watch them secrets fallin' to the ground
Ain't no lovin' on her mind
She just ain't the settlin' kind
It's time to head onto another town
