Rock 'n Roll Widow Lyrics - Wishbone Ash

It happened in an open field 

Down in a southern state 

And no one knows the reason why 

Some would say it's hate 

They shot the guy who sold the dogs 

It came as some surprise 

And to a lady standing there 

Brought sadness to her eyes 

She's a rock and roll widow living in this town 

Another rock and roll widow since they gunned him down 

The heat of day still hung around 

As night began to fall 

The sheriff came up from the town 

In answer to the call 

The band played on in darkness 

Not knowing what to do 

As people ran from side to side 

Just looking for a clue
