Verse 1
A 
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
