The Ballad Of Ronnie Buttons
Deep down in virginia, there was born a child To a lovely widow, sensitive but wild He grew up meek and mellow The girls all called him cute He watched his mother's murder It left him dumb and mute
He drifted up to Richmond in his hand his father's hat An old revolver hidden in his trench coat worn and black There he met a reporter Late to catch a train He shot him for a quarter He stole his ticket and his name
Then he rode up to Manhatten, 14th Street A folded photo in his pocket of the man he came to meet
There a man sat strumming A rusty steel guitar Picking out a love song about a lady and her car I know why you're here The old man sang in time Your old lady is no longer And you've pinned me for the crime Before I am dispatched, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com They'res something I gotta say Your momma tried you For a brand new Chevrolet
So I stabbed her in the heart And I thought you were asleep And when I saw your eyes were open, I knew you'd never speak I couldn't leave you thinking You were made to give away So I left you with a photo, Here you stand today
That tune you heard me playing That song was just for you I've been waiting twenty years So do what you gotta do
He watched and slowly sat In the air a pregnant pause The man that took his family, but left him with a cause And as the daylight faded Stretching warmly over the floor They hummed the tune together and outside the engines roared
