Violet And Jeffrey Lee
The Sadies
BAND: The Sadies TITLE: Violet and Jeffrey Lee ALBUM: Darker Circles TABBED BY: [Verse 1] They met in the spring at the Campbellford fair Father Jeffrey was speaking his young bridge not there Violet looked like an angel with tails in her hair And when Jeffrey first saw her She welcomed his stare They left after ??? Towards Hastingstown He told her his secrets while the sun went down So warm in his arms she gave up her heart She fell for his charms and then she fell apart [Instrumental] [Verse 2] She made herself see him one Sunday at mass When she saw his attention he smiled and walked on past He hated the man he became on that night He lost his pride his faith his bride his love and unborn child When the seasons turned Violet donned her badge of sin and soon she would learn Devil’s walk the Earth as men [Instrumental] [Verse 3] She went to the forest sad and forlorn Three lives lay in ruin A baby is born He was found at the altar They say he took his life He left the boy he never knew He left his poor young wife One moment of pleasure A lifetime of lies She kept their secret with her Until the day she died [Instrumental]
