lyrics

Rose Connally
Kent Agee

Rose Connally wore a blue flowered dress
It was soft, like the color of her eyes
I tried not to see how it clung to her breast
Lord I prayed but it stayed on my mind
I had sworn my affections to another all my life
I loved her, did not wish to cause her pain
So I hardened my heart to what the flesh would have me do
And turned the fair Rose Connally away

Now this world has turned my children into strangers
Who won’t call no dead tobacco farm their home
My wife sits all day and reads the Revelations
While I wander ‘round these wasted fields alone
And count the years Rose Connally’s been gone

There’s nine miles of fence strung around this old farm
Hung it myself, back when it held something in
With a hundred-pound roll of wire under each arm
I’d climb that hill, it weren’t nothin’ to me then
And Rose would be standin’ by that property line
Callin’ to me with a voice as sweet as her name
But I kept workin’ that ground, staying straight and lookin’ down
She was gone when I looked up again

(chorus)
