jill sobule & john doe (x) - baby doe lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1: jill sobule]
she flashed a bit of leg and won the contest
and girls didn’t do that sort of thing those days
she always raised the eyebrows of her neighbors
and the flags of men who passed her way
and one day she moved to colorado
’cause that’s where fortunes were made

[chorus: jill sobule]
baby doe
rags to riches and back again
oh, baby doe

[verse 2: jill sobule]
at the saddle rock she met a married lover
sure about the richest man in town
ladies of society all scorned hеr
when he left his wifе, the baby got the crown
but his money could not buy back reputation
she was lost with everything she found

[chorus: jill sobule]
baby doe
rags to riches and back again
oh, baby doe
baby doe
the silver floe, first time to gold
oh, baby doe
[bridge: jill sobule]
a hundred peac+cks strutting in the garden
’til the awful bust of ’93
and on his dying bed he made her promise
not to leave the mine until it settled free
baby doe

[verse 3: jill sobule]
walking down the frozen streets of leadville
wearing gunny sacks and talking to herself
and one last log she finds to make the fires
knowing that she kept her promise well
and she takes her leave of colorado
she floats up through the silver clouds above

[chorus: jill sobule]
baby doe
rags to riches and back again
oh, baby doe
baby doe
the silver floe, first time to gold
oh, baby doe
baby doe
