Look What She Done to Me

about

Thus spake the Lady Feather: "This is the best song anyone's ever written about me." That says maybe....maybe....

Perched on the edge of the love seat, waiting for her Ladyship to prepare herself for public viewing, bound to rendezvous with Pedal and her jambox at DP, I picked up a busted ol' geetar leaning in a corner, and without so much as tuning the thing, the whole thing rolled out, fully formed. It was a little "walk down south", not quite "lay me down", but somewhere in the middle, like a repentant rebel rebuilding the rails ripped up on Sherman's march, retracing my childhood in baby steps across four states, and taking her with me. When her Ladyship emerged from her chamber, I presented it as a gift, and received the aforementioned praise, immediately tempered with:

"Oh great, am I your muse or something?"

Not...so...much...

lyrics

I met her ramblin'
Down near Natchez
She had a candle
And I had matches
And her eyes aflame
She saw through my game

She said she rolled in
From Alabama
As she was holdin'
A silver hammer
And she crushed my brain
When she said my name
Look what she done to me
What she done to me

We met a preacher
Down near Clarksdale
He tried to teach her
By the cross and nail
And he took us in
And we fell into sin
Look what she done to me
What she done to me
Look what she done to me
What she done to me

When I whispered in her ear
My heart was on her shelf
She looked me in the eye and said,
"Boy, I did it for myself."

She caught the last train
To Atlanta
She gave me more pain
Than I could grant her
And she kissed my face
As we parted ways
Look what she done to me
What she done to me
Look what she done to me
What she done to me
