Sweet Emmylou, I blew the dust off you You're the only one who knows what I'm going through And like the hickory wind, he's gone again Sweet Emmylou Sweet Emmylou, as the needle runs through you The way the pain shines through Well, I know you've been there too Those sad melodies, oh, how they comfort me Sweet Emmylou Well, I hate to bother you again Last time you helped my poor heart mend Then he came along So I put your records all away Thought happy songs was all I'd play But I was wrong, oh, I was wrong Sweet Emmylou, what are we gonna do? It's only been a week or two And he's found someone new Looks like it's gonna be Another night of you and me Sweet Emmylou Well, I hate to bother you again Last time you helped my poor heart mend Then he came along So I put your records all away Thought happy songs was all I'd play But I was wrong, oh, I was wrong Sweet Emmylou, sweet Emmylou, sweet Emmylou
