lirik lagu bill anderson – lorene
he was just seventeen when he married lorene
a good womans greatest mistake
she was carrying his child
but he was too young and wild
for the burdens that marriage creates
so just like a coward he looked for a way out
and he went where the snake river flows
he left her a note inside of his coat
then he quickly walked off down the road
lorene stood and shivered while they dragged the river
for the body that was not to be found
he watched from a hillside while they had his funeral
from there he could hear every sound
there was friends and relation and they all kept saying
what a shame it was he chose to die
but the thing that still haunts him and tears at his conscience
is the sound lorene made when she cried
black velvet lace covered her face
but her grievin was too strong to hide
but the thing that still haunts him and tears at his conscience
is the sound lorene made when she cried
and then after two years of hidin
with his shame locked inside him
his conscience finally led him back home
to a small country graveyard where a plain wooden marker
had lorenes name carved next to his own
now he stands and shivers on the banks of the river
where the cold waters flow dark and deep
and death like an old friend whispers come on in
and ill put your conscience to sleep
black velvet lace covered her face
but her grievin was too strong to hide
but the thing that still haunts him and tears at his conscience
is the sound lorene made when she cried
yeah the one thing he still cant erase from his conscience
is the sound lorene made when she cried
