Maddie Mae - 3:41

Maddie Mae

What is this thing,
between me and you?
Like a strange white flower on some shallow grave,
like the one where I buried you.

This is how the trouble starts,
this is how men end up dead.
Like a freight train runnin',
you don't see it come,
until a bright light fills your head.

You make me tremble Maddie Mae.
You make me tremble Maddie Mae.
I just want you to have your way.

We had a garden.
We let it go to seed.
It took all the time we had miss Maddie
to satisfy our needs.

We reaped a harvest.
it was all our own.
We ate it all up,
with our dirty little fingers,
till we chewed uor fingers to the bone.

You make me tremble, Maddie Mae.
You make me tremble, Maddie Mae.
I just want you to have your way.

Here you come.
Well here you come again.
Ain't no use in fighting with you woman,
you're the original sin.
Now what am I supposed to do?
You already know.
Just gonna keep on creeping,
creeping and a peeping,
like a low down so-and-so.

You make me tremble, Maddie Mae.
You make me tremble, Maddie Mae.
I just want you to have your way.
I just want you to have your way.
