Billy Walker "Buy Juanita Some Flowers" |
(Steve Karliski) My outfit was stationed near a small border town I met her one day in a small cabaret I discovered just off the camp ground Her name was Juanita and I loved her so And I took from my hand that gold wedding band That I wore back home. Each weekend I'd buy Juanita some flowers And wrap them up in lies I'd buy Juanita some flowers So she couldn't see the shame in my eyes. I just couldn't tell her that our love couldn't be So I lied to amuse her cause I knew I'd lose her If she learned the truth about me For the sake of this woman I've forsaken my soul But her kiss was to blame it set off a flame I couldn't control. Each weekend I'd buy Juanita some flowers And wrap them up in lies I'd buy Juanita some flowers So she couldn't see the shame in my eyes. And then someone told her that I had a wife I tried to explain but her gun spit a flame And as I fell she took her own life And now it's all over I won't last I know Do one thing for me in her memory Before I go. Won't someone please buy Juanita some flowers For all the trust she gave Please buy Juanita some flowers And place them for me upon her grave... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
