Sweet Emmylou, I blew the dust off you   You're the only one who knows what I'm going 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      Well, 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      Well, 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, sweet Emmylou, sweet Emmylou
