earl sixteen - julia lyrics

part i: julia

[intro]
that’s what her mama say, julia
she had to go away, that’s what her mama say

[verse 1]
she was never wrong, she feared no one
she was also young and beautiful
and i loved her so, but why did julia go
when we were ready to be married
there was no one for me

[chorus]
then julia, she got high
even though she knew what was the price
and julia, she got paid
and you know it pays unprecedented ways

[verse 2]
well, i love her so
and since she had to go
but what her mama say
she had to face another day
she was also young, and so beautiful
sweet julia, that’s what her mama say
julia, she had to go away, she had to face another day
she was never wrong, she feared no one
she was so beautiful, so beautiful
i love her so, and she had to go
and we were ready to get married
there was no one for me
[chorus]
julia got high
even though she knew what was the price
julia, she got paid
and know she had to pay in any way

[verse 3]
that’s what her mama say
she had to face another day

that’s what her mama say
