Blue Maiden's Tale - Warren Haynes, Railroad Earth

The sun did rise, yesterday, on that frozen hill

As the crow flies, about twenty miles from Brownsville

As I lay asleep

Comfortably caught in my dream

Visions of you

Wading in a mountain stream

And there’s a story

No one knows if it’s true

About a maiden

Just as pretty as you

It’s a tale of a soldier who

Left that maiden blue

As I walk alone

This path that I chose long ago

Try as I may

I can’t keep my demons below

And every tear that I’ve caused

Comes back twelvefold

And my destiny is to walk through

The rain and the cold

And there’s a story

No one knows if it’s true

About a maiden

Just as pretty as you

It’s a tale of a soldier who

Left that maiden blue

The sun did set, last night,

On Brownsville town

And the darkness that fell

We hope never again shall be found

And I lay awake

Hearing echoes

Of a young maiden’s song

And sleep never came

Just the thoughts of the one I did wrong

The one I did wrong
