Juanita - Emmylou Harris

When she walked out on me for the very last time

Oh mama, sweet mama, can you tell me what to say?

I don’t know what I’ve done to be treated this way

In a cold dirty room, that’s where I found myself

With a bottle of wine and some pills on the shelf

Oh mama, sweet mama, can you tell me what to say?

I don’t know what I’ve done and I’m feeling so ashamed

Then an angel appeared, she was just seventeen

In a dirty old gown with a conscious so clean

Oh mama, sweet mama, can you tell me what to say?

She’s brought back the life that I once threw away

She’s brought back the life that I once threw away
