| Put on your long black morning gown
|
| Get on your crazy horse crown
|
| Sat here watching oh a dead man blow
|
| It’s cold outside riding the winter snow
|
| And if it comes tomorrow
|
| And if it comes today
|
| I don’t see this working out
|
| With the one that got away
|
| The scatter roller’s coming down
|
| Summer’s been and turned around
|
| It don’t seem so long ago
|
| That you were my precious cargo
|
| The scatter roller’s coming down
|
| Summer’s been and turned around
|
| It don’t seem so long ago
|
| That you were my precious cargo
|
| My precious cargo, my precious cargo
|
| The truth is stacked in this deck of cards
|
| A promise lost wrapped in these ivory barbs
|
| Elizabeth sings oh she’s my queen of hearts
|
| Souls of men die and actors pick up the parts
|
| If it comes tomorrow
|
| If it comes today
|
| I don’t see this working out
|
| With the one that got away
|
| The scatter roller’s coming down
|
| Summer’s been and turned around
|
| It don’t seem so long ago
|
| That you were my precious cargo
|
| The scatter roller’s coming down
|
| Summer’s been and turned around
|
| It don’t seem so long ago
|
| That you will always be my precious cargo
|
| My precious cargo
|
| You’ll always be my precious cargo
|
| If it comes tomorrow
|
| If it comes today
|
| I don’t see this working out
|
| With the one that got away
|
| The scatter roller’s coming down
|
| Oh my booty’s back around
|
| It don’t seem so long ago
|
| That you were my precious cargo
|
| The scatter roller’s coming down
|
| Summer’s been and turned around
|
| It don’t seem so long ago
|
| That you were my precious cargo
|
| The scatter roller’s coming down
|
| Summer’s been and gone around
|
| It don’t seem so long ago
|
| You were my precious precious cargo |
