Am I'm sorry for you

Am I'm sorry for you

Goin' away with a man you don't love

Looks like the good

Lord has given you up

Emma, I'm sorry for you

Well she loves her father so well

Yeah, she loves her father so well

But he married another

when her momma died

And

Emma married someone

too just out of spite

But she loves her father so well

When

Emma was only sixteen

When

Emma was only 16

She married a man her father's age

She told him that her step

-mama drove her away

When

Emma was only 16

Yeah, she married a

Cherokee

City man

She married a

Cherokee city man

With cold cruel hands and jealous eyes

She says when he goes out to drink

He locks her in at night

Yes, he married a

Cherokee

City man

Emma wears a ten -dime store charm

Emma wears a ten -dime

store charm

Cause twice she's left him,

but once she's gone back

And the last time she left,

she tore off that wedding band

So

Emma wears a ten -dime store charm

And there's a man

who's comin' for her

There's a man who's comin' for her

A black -headed man with

the weed in his mouth

Emma's husband sent this man

to bring her back to town

And there's a man who's

coming for her

And she's cried for two days now

She's cried for two days now

She doesn't want to leave

her family again

She begs, please don't let

that black -hatted man in

Yeah, she's cried for two days now

And she longs for a stranger to love

She longs for a stranger to love

Late in the night and deep in her sleep

Amid dreams of kindness and mystery

Yeah, she longs for a stranger to love

And,

Emma, I'm sorry for you

Emma, I'm sorry for you

Going away with a man you don't love

Looks like the good

Lord is giving you up

Emma, I'm sorry for you

Emma, I'm sorry for you
