Long White Dress

from Johnson County Snow by Kelly Pardekooper

/

lyrics

Come on back from Memphis, come on back to me
I know it’s too cold way up north but it’s where I’m supposed to be
I said now come on darling, come back to your man
I said no long white dress is gonna make you understand

Come on back now darling, come on back to me
Get right on that midnight train, from Memphis, Tennessee
I said I know that you’re out there looking for some higher ground
But if your momma hasn’t taught you girl you should of learned a bit by now

Don’t wait ‘til tomorrow, I need you today
The telephone’s been a ringing girl but I can’t hear what you say
I said I know that you’re out there looking for a little more
And if you don’t come around I’m gonna camp right outside your door

Come on back from Memphis, come on back to me
I know it’s too cold way up north but it’s where I’m supposed to be
I said now come on darling, come back to your man
I said no long white dress is gonna make you understand
