The Milk Carton Kids - White Girl lyrics
[The Milk Carton Kids - White Girl lyrics]
I am stunned and I am broken and
My head is in my hand
For she who said she love me
Will not wed an Indian man
My Gods who were wild ridden
Stand quiet by my side
For although I loved her she
Would not be my bride
Oh goodbye softly sweet one it
Was splended while it ran
Goodbye my bitter white girl I'll
Forget you if I can
She came up to the pueblo
With her bright blonde hair
They told me not to love her
But I did not care
She took me to her parties
She carried me around
And I was a proud one the tallest man in town
For I found great wonder all
Wrapped in brilliant dreams
I held her strong but gentle as
Kings have held their queens
I learned to drink strong whiskey as
She took me here and there
Until life without my whiskey
I could not bear oh goodbye softly sweet one
Well when she came to leave me
She took me by the arm
And she said she loved me and
Would not do me harm
But she would not marry not
An Indian she said
She thanked me for my offer and
I wished that I was dead
Now I'm back among my people and
They are kind to me
Although I'm sad with staggers when
I drink that tough whiskey
For I've been a white girl's
Pet a captive Indian
Shown off and discarded just a
Drunk who might have been
Oh goodbye softly sweet one
Goodbye softly sweet one
My head is in my hand
For she who said she love me
Will not wed an Indian man
My Gods who were wild ridden
Stand quiet by my side
For although I loved her she
Would not be my bride
Oh goodbye softly sweet one it
Was splended while it ran
Goodbye my bitter white girl I'll
Forget you if I can
She came up to the pueblo
With her bright blonde hair
They told me not to love her
But I did not care
She took me to her parties
She carried me around
And I was a proud one the tallest man in town
For I found great wonder all
Wrapped in brilliant dreams
I held her strong but gentle as
Kings have held their queens
I learned to drink strong whiskey as
She took me here and there
Until life without my whiskey
I could not bear oh goodbye softly sweet one
Well when she came to leave me
She took me by the arm
And she said she loved me and
Would not do me harm
But she would not marry not
An Indian she said
She thanked me for my offer and
I wished that I was dead
Now I'm back among my people and
They are kind to me
Although I'm sad with staggers when
I drink that tough whiskey
For I've been a white girl's
Pet a captive Indian
Shown off and discarded just a
Drunk who might have been
Oh goodbye softly sweet one
Goodbye softly sweet one
