There was a narrow road to that old foot path
                 A                G     D   D
Where the briar tangles into the musky dawn
 D       D  G        D
That old a-bandoned cabin
                  A                  G       D
Was the perfect place for forbidden love to hide

She had a taste for the fruit of the vine
          D                     Bm
He was a poor boy down in that holler
 G            D    A                   D
And made his livin-in on his homemade wine

Don't you know their love grew

Like the wild flowers do

She'd start to miss him
                G
With an awful thirst
 
           D
When that sun went down
          Bm       G
She'd go sneaking out
         D     A                  D
He'd be waitin-in calling out to her

There was a child born

Twenty years ago

To a mother who never wed
                D                    Bm
And though she gave no name for the father
 G               D   A                 G
She called her daughter Little Velvet Red
