Here Stands A Woman

You told me that you loved me

That would never change

Now I'm looking in the mirror

And I know that I'm to blame

'Cause it's all gone, babe

Like the song says

Fallen from her curls

Here stands a woman

Where there once was a girl

Come a long way from Danville

Where they wear that Danville curl

The mother and the father

Who kept me in their care

They're both gone like the ribbons

That I used to wear

But it's alright, Ma, things got tight, Pa

So I went and pawned the pearls

Here stands a woman

Where there once was a girl

I come a long way from Danville

Where they wear that Danville curl

You told me that you loved me

And that would never change

But I'm looking in the mirror

Now I know I'm not the same

'Cause it's all gone, babe

Like the song says

I been all around this world

Here stands a woman
