lyrics
She was singing from a camp stove,
watering the coals' glow.
I never felt so old,
never saw her hair grow.
I left a message in a tin cup,
went to see what she had made up.
She had an image building on mud
and a secret hidden by flood.
Make sure that you keep them safe from the Devil's Son.
Make sure that they stay close and can't wander on their own.
Don't Leave Home without your gun.
She was singing on to Joan Baez,
drinking with her brides maids,
talking to a strange man,
hoping for a new mess.
She asked me why I stood still,
so I told her of a love lost.
With a wobble and slurred word,
she said she felt the whole world.
Make sure that you keep her safe from the Devil's Son.
Make sure that they stay close and can't wander on their own.
Don't Leave Home without your gun.
She was following and old maid,
making up a deep grave,
flying off a steal rail,
learning how to be frail.
I was watching from a high post,
she was looking for the west coast.
I tried to lead her back home,
she was emerging with her sailboat.
Make sure that you keep her safe from the Devil's Son.
Make sure that she stays close and can't wander on her own.
Don't Leave Home without your gun.
