Lee Hazlewood
Dirtnap Stories
[Verse 1:]
There was a woman who loved her man
More than she loved herself
Dirtnap one day took him away
Left her screaming for help

[Chorus:]
And I said how does it feel[x2]
Like all God’s promises are broken[x3]
It’s like dying on Christmas day[x2]
Before all gifts are open

[Verse 2:]
I knew a man who had a friend
He loved in his own special way
He held his friend close in his arms
And his friend just melt away

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
I had a love, a love of all loves
But the dirtnap covered her well
And the pain from the knife that cut us apart
Won’t stop on this side of hell
[Chorus]
