Lyrics Sweet Lorraine - Patty Griffin
Sweet
Lorraine,
the
fiery-haired
and
brown-eyed
schemer
Who
came
from
a
long
line
of
drinkers
and
dreamers
Who
knew
that
sunshine
don't
hold
up
to
dark
Whose
businesses
fail,
who
sleep
in
the
park
Lorraine
who
spoke
of
paintings
in
Paris
And
outlandish
things
to
her
family
just
to
scare
us
Whose
heart
went
pokin'
where
it
shouldn't
ought
to
Whose
mother
could
only
spit
at
the
thought
of
Lorraine,
sweet
Lorraine
Her
father
would
tear
out
like
a
page
of
the
bible
Then
he'd
burn
down
the
house
to
announce
his
arrival
Her
mother
was
working
and
never
was
home
Lorraine
carved
out
a
little
life
of
her
own
Lorraine
started
working,
Lorraine
went
to
school
Her
mother
threw
stones
at
her
on
the
day
that
she
moved
Now
isn't
that
a
very
strange
thing
to
do
For
someone
who
never
really
wanted
you
Lorraine,
sweet
Lorraine
Her
daddy
called
her
a
slut
and
a
hoar
On
the
night
before
her
wedding
day
The
very
next
morning
at
the
church
Her
daddy
gave
Lorraine
away
Lorraine,
sweet
Lorraine
In
the
battle
of
time,
in
the
battle
of
will
It's
only
your
hope
and
your
heart
that
gets
killed
And
it
gets
harder
and
harder,
Lorraine,
to
believe
in
magic
When
what
came
before
you
is
so
very
tragic
Lorraine,
sweet
Lorraine
Lorraine,
sweet
Lorraine
