Lay him in the ground.

Hi all.
Wrote this about four years ago.

I decided to have another go at improving it.
Ive added an extra verse.

You often hear country songs where a man kills his wife or girl friend.
So decided to write it from the reverse prospective.

I'm not sure if the Oohs and the gunshot at the beginning work?

She came along one evening from the southern part of town.
She seemed quite unsettles as her eyes kept darting round.
Mascara flooded from her cheeks onto her wedding gown.
She came to lay him in the ground.

She fell down onto her knees and looked towards the sky.
Then called towards the heavens oh! why my god oh! why?
Her grief was inconsolable her fists beat up and down.
She's sworn to lay him in the ground.

Bridge

At times it seems impossible when you've been dealt a hand.
Your grief can not be satisfied its like some twisted plan.
Begging of a journey that seems to know no bounds.
Today she'll lay him in the ground.

Fill

She found him in some tavern he was laying money down.
Then she produced a pistol from beneath her wedding gown.
It may seem impossible sordid and profound.
She's here to lay him in the ground.

The bullet met its target, straight through the ace of hearts.
He staggered straight toward as blood stained all the cards.
He tumbled like big oak tree as people stared and frowned.
Its time to lay him in the ground


At times it seems impossible when you've been dealt a hand.
Your grief can not be satisfied its like some twisted plan.
Begging of a journey that seems to know no bounds.
She came to lay him in the ground.
This day she'll lay him in the ground.
She came to lay him in the ground.
