Well they say a part of Rachel diedThe day her true love took his lifeShe stayed on at the old homesteadAnd sleeps alone in a cold, cold bedShe doesn't need no-oneShe drives into town in her old tray backDown thirty miles of dusty trackAnd still she wears thatmold black veilLips so red and skin so paleI wonder if she knowsCHORUS Rachel, I can't stop loving you Tell me is there nothin' I can do Oh how I long to lay my lonely head On the empty pillow there on Rachel's bedIn her silent eyes I search for a signThat maybe she'll she the love in mineWhen she goes by my head goes spinnin'I wanna call her name but my nerves not willin'I wonder if it showsCHORUSWell they say a part of Rachel diedThe day her true love took his lifeShe stayed on at the old homesteadAnd sleeps alone in that cold, cold bedBut I wonder if she knowsRachel, I can't stop loving youTell me is there nothin' I can doOh how I long to lay my lonely headOn the empty pillow there on Rachel's bedOh how I long to lay my lonely headOn the empty pillow there on Rachel's bed
