It's hard to tell
This is my wedding night
I am dressed and ready

Beside my innocence
It is Hard to tell
Whose little girl am I

The man with the black hat
Will take me home tonight
I wash my body, five years grown

Promised father, leave me alone
Hope not too lonely
You pull away down the dusty road

Family waiting
Hope not too lonely


I watched the grass blow
Through the window
I am a good grass widow

I am a grass widow
News from the sparrow
My friendly fellow

They get along just fine without me
They are never lonely


I watched the flowers grow
Outside my window
I am a good grass widow

I am a grass widow
