Stonewall Jackson - Waitin' for Dawn Till Dawn lyrics

When I was young and foolish and always on the go I met up with this beauty out on the western coast I learned that she was married and that her name was Dawn But to know that she was married didn't send me home We'd meet in secret places all along the bay I realize it wasn't right for man to live that way We lived high on his money as though it was our own And cared not how it broke his heart to wait for Dawn till dawn When he ran out of money his wife ran out of time So that's when she divorced him at last she was all mine But I worked longer hours so far into the night To buy Dawn's pretty dresses so short and oh so tight For weeks now I've been searching for work with better pay That last two thousand that she spent I don't see how I'll pay It must be time for reapin' the wild seeds that I've sown At three A.M. I'm weeping as I wait for Dawn till dawn Yes, at three A.M. I'm weepin' as I wait for Dawn till dawn
