"Long Black Limousine" lyrics

Long Black Limousine

See her riding in that long black limousine

There's a long line of mourners
Driving down our little street
And their fancy cars are such a sight to see
Must be all her rich friends
That knew her in the city
Yes they finally brought her home to me

All the papers told of how she lost her life
About the party and the fatal crash that night
The race upon the highway
And the curve no one had seen
Now she's riding in that long black limousine

When she left home she told me
Someday she'll be returning
And she'd leave in a fancy car
For all the town to see
And now everyone is watching
And I guess at last she found her dream
Cause there she goes
She's riding in a long black limousine

Through tear dimmed eyes
I watched as she ride by
With a chauffer at the wheel
Dressed up so fine
I'll never love another
For my heart and all my dreams
Are with her in that long black limousine

See her riding in that long black limousine
