i met her at the fair
i couldn't help but stare
at the beauty of those eyes
of evelyn rose
she turned my heart
into a scary little lark
locked up in my chest
trying to break free
the evening got dark
the band soon would start
to play that old music
that everyone knew
and i just don't know why
but she really did allow
me to dance with her
oh evelyn rose
weeks had gone by
when i took her to the grove
where the light was filtered
by rubber tree leaves
i got down on my knees
begged her to marry me
i can give you no money
but i can give you my soul
it'd only be a theft
'cause i got no time left
i can feel it in my bones
replied evelyn rose
as if i was a tree
she Ieft me standing there
with the ring in my pocket
and mud on my knees
months went on by
i was wondering why
i hadn't seen her or heard of her
ever since that day
then my cousin came to town
and he looked weird somehow
saying, haven't you heard the news
about evelyn rose
well you know how the crops
have failed all around
but her family's farm
had really gone down
and they were about to sell
their land to the bank
but she'd heard of a new way
to earn quickly and well
she left for the city
she went there alone
she sold her own kidney
for a price of a horse
with the money she came back
but she was cursed by her dad
and her mom was crying
'cause she looked like a ghost
the wound wouldn't mend
no doctor could help
and that was the end
of sweet evelyn rose
cold fists wringing my heart
every time i think of sweet evelyn rose
cold fists wringing my heart
every time i think of sweet evelyn rose
