Marcia Ball - St. Gabriel .
All the sad songs about leaving
None about coming home
I been down in Saint Gabriel
With nowhere to go
The sun sets in Saint Gabriel
A fiery red
And the fields all around
Are brown and dead
In Saint Gabriel
Saint Gabriel
They say I killed a man
He treatened my life
But I went to prison
Because I was his wife
And I had stood it
As long as I could
Oh, I went down
I went down to Saint Gabriel
For what I had to do
Oh, Saint Gabriel
Saint Gabriel
[Guitar Solo]
It's a hopeless life
And it's a crying shame
It was me or him
And I took the blame
You can feel the river
Through the walls
It shakes the levy
It shakes us all
In Saint Gabriel
Saint Gabriel
Now they say I was right
And I'm free to go
So I'm standing out here
By the side of the road
All the sad songs about leaving
None about coming home
Oh I been down
I been down in Saint Gabriel
With nowhere, nowhere to go
In Saint Gabriel
Saint Gabriel
Saint Gabriel
