Tell Me Virginia

(album: Billy Joe Shaver - 1982)

Tell me Virginia
What would you do?
If the cover was torn from the book about you?

What your wapon type dresses
And the symbolic holes
That a woman like you would call her working clothes

Tell me Virginia
What would you do?
If everyone knew what I know
About you?

Say there Virginia, self-made Robin Hood
Girl you give it to the poor man, but you've been no good
Cause you married that rich man and let yourself down
When you went for that fast buck on the dark side of town

Tell me Virginia
What would you do?
If everyone knew what I know
About you?

Hello Virginia, won't you burn that red fire
Girl to light up your bedroom, and show what you are
Them straight shoes you're wearing
Would not cramp your feet
If you stayed in that big house
And up off the street

Tell me Virginia
What would you do?
If everyone knew what I know
About you?

Tell me Virginia
What would you do?
If everyone knew what I know
About you darling?
