Вступление
[Verse 1]
Well the night was long, and the liquor was strong
I was feelin' alright next to you
Spendin' my nights, back in Louisiana
With a love that I thought I knew
[Verse 2]
We'd walk to the top, of the hickory hills
Lovin' in the pourin' rain
Illuminated by the light of the moon
And in that moment I forgot my name
[Chorus]
Oh we were singin' to the river, watchin' the willows sway
Oh with the starlight fallin' on us
Magnolia why'd you run away
[Verse 3]
Where have you gone, I've searched for too long
Looked up your name time to time
But all that I find is that I'm loosin' my mind
From the memory of you that I claim
[Verse 4]
But oh what a sight, in a lace dress so white
Swept up the moss from the floor
Sometimes I still see your silhouette out in the night
But by mornin' she aint there anymore
[Chorus]
Oh we were singin' to the river, watchin' the willows sway
Oh with the starlight fallin' on us
Magnolia why'd you run away
Oh we were dancin' in the moonlight, til the mornin' came
Oh I been tryin' to find my way back to you dear
Magnolia why'd you run away
[Verse 5]
Well the night is long, and the liquor is strong
And tonight I'm feelin' blue
My memory takes me back to Louisiana
To the love that I thought I knew
[Chorus]
Oh we were singin' to the river, watchin' the willows sway
Oh with the starlight fallin' on us
Magnolia why'd you run away
Oh we were dancin' in the moonlight, til the mornin' came
Oh I been tryin' to find my way back to you dear
Magnolia why'd you run away
Oh I been tryin' to find my way back to you dear
Magnolia why'd you run away
