It happened in an open field Down in a southern state And no one knows the reason why Some would say it's hate They shot the guy who sold the dogs It came as some surprise And to a lady standing there Brought sadness to her eyes
She's a rock and roll widow living in this town Another rock and roll widow since they gunned him down

I thought I had a girl And all because I seen her. I thought I had a girl And all because I seen her. Her hair was golden brown (yes it was) Blowin' free like a cornfield.
