Sweet Jessie Brown Songtext
von Dale Watson

She used to dream that she would be a celebrity
And known for miles around
She′d dress up in her linens, she'd sit and pretend
That she was a queen in her gown

But I was just a boy from down the road
And I was known as trouble in town
Thought to be the man that would take the hand
And changed the plans of sweet Jessie Brown

Sweet Jessie Brown
Would you look at you now?

She graduated early, at the prep school
We new surely she was bound
Everybody tried to warn her
I could be the one to bring her down


′Cause I told her there's a hole world out there
For the two of us and it's waitin′ to be found
And knew to be the man that would take the hand
And change the plans of sweet Jessie Brown

Sweet Jessie Brown
Would you look at you now?

On a road bound for nowhere
A baby′s cryin' is the only sound
Then the baby stopped her crying
And Jessie′s world came tumblin' to the ground

I found a pill box on the dresser
And a note that she died holding in her hand
It read, "Goodbye dear, I love you and I′m sorry"
Signed, Jessie Brown

Sweet Jessie Brown
Would you look at you now?

She used to dream that she would be a celebrity
And known for miles around
