There's a stoney lady living by the border
She's living in the country for a time
She's working as a bar maid in a city due north
Now and then she'll be a friend of mine
(Chorus)
Stoney lady
You're making me so high
Stoney lady
Don't stop and wonder why
I come to you in the fading hours of night
We're waking in the morning to your warm and hazy light
Well, her daddy was a captain in the army
And her mother was a lover of the Lord
Her brother's time was lost some time in North Korea
She's the one who marched against the war
(Chorus)
Well, some say she's an easy kind of woman
And some say she's a foolish little girl
And some say she'd be okay if she'd only settle down
This stoney lady doesn't waste a word
(Chorus)
Well you might think that real fine women are plenty
You may think that ramblin' men just want a home
But the finest, kindest woman that this man has ever met
Is the one that makes me feel that I can roam
(Chorus)
