[Tom Petty, The Heartbreakers - Jefferson Jericho Blues lyrics]
Well poor Tom Jefferson
He loved the little maid out back
Midnight creeping out to the servant's shack
Kept a secret under the bed
Wrapped in a burlap sack
Well, I drove all day and
Night out to Jericho but in my second mind
I knew it was time to go
Yeah and I still get nervous
Every time that bugle blows
Well she ain't no good for me
But I just can't let go
If I sit here thinking
My thoughts will overflow
And I can't keep from crying
Can't keep time from moving slow
He loved the little maid out back
Midnight creeping out to the servant's shack
Kept a secret under the bed
Wrapped in a burlap sack
Well, I drove all day and
Night out to Jericho but in my second mind
I knew it was time to go
Yeah and I still get nervous
Every time that bugle blows
Well she ain't no good for me
But I just can't let go
If I sit here thinking
My thoughts will overflow
And I can't keep from crying
Can't keep time from moving slow
