Chadwick Stokes - Adelaide lyrics

He fell in love with a reservation girl During the time of the sugar beet harvest They moved out west to the coast where he built her a bed Made of shag-bark from Sherwood Forest And life was good until she told him goodbye Said they was better off living separate lives And maybe they was Well, should we stop and take her with us? Should we stop and take her with us? Should we stop and take her with us for all our time We left Worcester with our boots and our bags And America undressed herself in front of our eyes My sister told me, my sister told me That there's gangs in the hills when the hickory falls And you never know when you're gonna run from it all Like she did Should we stop and take her with us?

Should we stop and take her with us? Should we stop and take her with us for all our time? Adelaide, you know you're just no good for me You know it's just so hard to see that you were right Oh, that you were right Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less I tried, he said underneath his breath, I've tried Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less I tried, he said underneath his breath, I've tried Adelaide, you know you're just no good for me You know it's just so hard to see that you were right Adelaide, you know you're just no good for me You know it's just so hard to see that you were right Oh, you were right
