Sweet Verona Della Mae
Capo 3
[G] Verona [G]left whe[C]n she wa[G]s only 16
[Em]Gave no [Em]reason b[D]ut needi[D]ng to fly
[G]She join[G]ed up wi[C]th a tra[G]veling band, and lady luck she took her hand
[D]Left all[D] her dem[G]ons behi[G]nd
She wove her unbashed story all through the south
Verona she carried the truth of a child
She was a gypsy queen, her hair a raven sheen,
She made love so strong and wild.
Chorus
[C]Now they[C]?re brin[G]ging her[G] home, sweet Verona
Em Em C (quick) G G
She got her very own box in which to lay,
[C]Now they[C]?re brin[G]ging her[G] home, from Louisiana,
[Em]And hall[Em]eluiah l[D]ord, she[G]?s home to stay
Kept all the postcards that she sent to me
Passed our way only once more,
When mama died she stood just outside of the church,
But she was gone when I ran out the door
Chorus
Now they?re bringing her home, sweet Verona,
She got her very own box in which to lay,
Now they?re bringing her home, from Louisiana,
And halleluiah lord, she?s home to stay
Dawn as she died, said they found her that way,
Covered in the jewels that she bought at the pawn,
They say her fire burned so bright that it kept her alive,
And it burned til she was gone
Chorus
Now they?re bringing her home, sweet Verona,
She got her very own box in which to lay,
Now they?re bringing her home, from Louisiana,
And halleluiah lord, she?s home to stay
And halleluiah lord, she?s home to stay
