Hannah
I lost all of my vanity when I peered into the pool
I lost all of my innocence when I fell in love with you
I never knew a man could fall so far 'til I landed here
Where all of my wounds, they turned into gold when I kissed your hair
Now come to me, Hannah
Hannah, won't you come on to me?
And I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me
Ask her why she cries so loud, will not say a word
Eyes like ice and hands that shake, she takes what she deserves
To celebrate her emptiness, a cold and lonely room
You sweep the floors with your long flowered dress if you cannot find a broom
Now come to me, Hannah
Hannah, won't you come on to me?
And I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me
She got hair that flows right down, right down to the backs of her knees
Papa, he was a preaching man and the Lord is hard to please
So she come down from the Ozark Hills to these very streets to roam
With a banjo and a Bible and a fine tooth comb
Now come to me, Hannah
Hannah, won't you come on to me?
And I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me
Now, I'd walk one mile on just broken glass to fall down at your feet
Hannah, you're the queen of the street
I climb the tree with my Hannahlee, my intentions, they were pure
Oh, the breeze did whip and I lost my grip and I tumbled towards the Earth
Well, you never would guess who it was that stood below, His name I will never tell
But His eyes were clear and His arms were strong and He caught me as I fell
Now come to me, Hannah
Hannah, won't you come on to me?
And I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me
Now, I'd walk one mile on just broken glass to fall down at your feet
Hannah, you're the queen of the street
The queen of the street
I lost all of my innocence when I fell in love with you
I never knew a man could fall so far 'til I landed here
Where all of my wounds, they turned into gold when I kissed your hair
Now come to me, Hannah
Hannah, won't you come on to me?
And I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me
Ask her why she cries so loud, will not say a word
Eyes like ice and hands that shake, she takes what she deserves
To celebrate her emptiness, a cold and lonely room
You sweep the floors with your long flowered dress if you cannot find a broom
Now come to me, Hannah
Hannah, won't you come on to me?
And I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me
She got hair that flows right down, right down to the backs of her knees
Papa, he was a preaching man and the Lord is hard to please
So she come down from the Ozark Hills to these very streets to roam
With a banjo and a Bible and a fine tooth comb
Now come to me, Hannah
Hannah, won't you come on to me?
And I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me
Now, I'd walk one mile on just broken glass to fall down at your feet
Hannah, you're the queen of the street
I climb the tree with my Hannahlee, my intentions, they were pure
Oh, the breeze did whip and I lost my grip and I tumbled towards the Earth
Well, you never would guess who it was that stood below, His name I will never tell

Now come to me, Hannah
Hannah, won't you come on to me?
And I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me
Now, I'd walk one mile on just broken glass to fall down at your feet
Hannah, you're the queen of the street
The queen of the street
