Merigold
It's cold in Mississippi, longest day of the year
The geese cry in the wind
As I wade into the delta, shotgun in my hands
Knowing I'll never see you again
Her cancer gave no warning, dug its roots into her ground
Wild as the kudzu on the highways of the south
Barely time to dream of better days to get 'er by
She was gone in the blink of an eye
Time to time we all lose something
But it ain't worth nothin' to me like this all broken
Lord, if you can hear me I swear to leave you alone
Please pick up the phone I want you to know
You can take me when she goes, Merigold
(Merigold)
Last spring you cleaned out the cast iron and you hung it up
I been hungry ever since
Nothing fills me up no more and the drinking sucks
It carves me up just thinkin' bout it
Wish I could take you driving, we'd roll into town
See the Christmas lights up on the square
Watchin' the sun go down, setting fire to the air
No honey we ain't gotta go anywhere
Time to time we all lose something
But it ain't worth nothin' to me like this all broken
Lord, if you can hear me I swear to leave you alone
Please pick up the phone I want you to know
You can take me when she goes, Merigold
