RED VELVET
(Ian Tyson)

Four months ago in April
On a day coach she came down
And the dusty Autumn winds begin to blow
Should have known I couldn't hold her
Living out so far from town
And the nights to come are long and slow to go

Now she's up and left me
Went walking down the line
And the dusty Autumn winds begin to blow
All dressed up in red velvet
And her high-heeled shoes so fine
And the nights to come are long and slow to go

Well if I'd only known
Before we'd kissed
You can't keep red velvet
On a poor dirt farm like this
Now she's up and left me
Went walking down the line
And the dusty Autumn winds begin to blow

I'll sit and count the evening stars
As they walk around
And the dusty Autumn winds begin to blow
And I'll call my dog and take the truck
And ride on into town
And the nights to come are long and slow to go
And those dusty Autumn winds begin to blow
