St. gabriel / Janiva Magness


All the sad songs about leaving
None about coming home
I been down in 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 deadIn 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 doOh, 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 GabrielNow 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
Oh-oh-oh
