Sweet Emmylou,
I blew the dust off you,
You're the one who,
Knows what I'm goin' through,
And like the hickory wind,
He's gone again, Sweet Emmylou.

Sweet Emmylou,
As the needle runs through you,
The way the pain shines through,
Well I know you've been there too,
Those sad melodies,
Oh how they comfort me, Sweet Emmylou.

*Chorus*
And I hate to bother you again,
Last time you helped my poor heart mend,
Then he came along,
So I put your records all away,
Thought happy songs was all I'd play,
But I was wrong, oh I was wrong.

Sweet Emmylou,
What are we gonna do?
It's only been a week or two,
And he's found someone new.
Looks like it's gonna be,
Another night of you and me, Sweet Emmylou.

*Chorus*

Sweet Emmylou
Sweet Emmylou
Sweet Emmylou
