She sat in the meadow with her jet black hair
Cos he said he would meet her there
She waited til the eve was in
She thought she might lead him in
She was chilled to the bone, but she didn't care
Cos she said she would meet him there
He didn't show up at the agreed time
So she looked for him walking through the vine
Cold and numb lying on the floor
His body lay lifeless alive no more
Crying in pain she didn't see
The man behind her who could it be
He struck her on the head
And before she hit the ground
She was dead
I want to believe
The story you see
It's just I don't hear the truth
She died on her own
No house nor no home
And she wasn't even a youth
Mary Madison
Detectives don't say much too him there
He confessed to the crime with a long hard stare
The country in shock over all of the news
A long lost father who used to abuse
The man who was caught was no special guy
Just the kind to make a mother cry
No jury was needed a guilty plea heard
The sentence given, at the stake he burned
The moral of this story is always beware
Even if he said he would meet you there
Even if he said he would meet you there
I want to believe
The story you see
It's just I don't hear the truth
She died on her own
No house nor no home
And she wasn't even a youth
Mary Madison
