All the sad songs about leaving
None about coming home
I've been down, I've been down in St. Gabriel
With nowhere to go
ย
The sun sets in St. Gabriel
A fiery red
ย
In the field all around
They're brown and dead in St. Gabriel
ย
St. Gabriel
ย
They say I killed a man
ย
That threatened my life
But I went to prison
Because I was his wife
Now I had stood it
As long as I could
For I went down, I went down to St. Gabriel
For what I had to do, St. Gabriel
ย
St. Gabriel
ย
It's a hopeless life
And it's a crying shame
It was me or him
And I took the blame
You can feel the river
Through the walls
It shakes the levee
It shakes us all in St. Gabriel
St. Gabriel
ย
Now they say I was right
And I'm free to go
So I'm standing out here
By the side of the road
All the sad songs about leaving
There's none about coming home
Oh, I've been down, I've been down in St. Gabriel
I got nowhere to go, St. Gabriel
St. Gabriel
