Cecilia Lyrics

Gypsy woman

 Come inside now

 And take a load off your feet

 You've been pounding the pavement

 Ain't told a fortune in weeks

 She spends here money on tequila

 She says it keeps her warm

 They call her many things but her name's Cecilia

 Now don't you know, now don't you know

 

 Hey hey hey hey Cecilia

 Don't you know the streets will kill ya

 Don't you know your mama misses ya

 Don't you know don't you know

 Gypsy woman

 Say she don't need ya

 And asks for a ride to the liquor store

 She kills the bottle

 Gives praise to Jesus

 Then passes out on your living room floor

 

 She tells the story of a shotgun wedding 

 And a birth of a stillborn child

 She was only 13 and her little body wasn't ready

 Babies watching babies die

 

 Hey hey hey hey Cecilia

 Don't you know the streets will kill ya

 Don't you know your mama misses ya

 Don't you know don't you know

 

 Hey hey hey hey Cecilia

 I have seen the beauty in ya

 Don't you know you're one in a million

 Don't you know don't you know

 

 Hey hey hey hey Cecilia

 Don't you know the streets will kill ya

 Don't you know your mama misses ya

 Don't you know don't you know

 

 Hey hey hey hey Cecilia

 I have seen the beauty in ya

 Don't you know you're one in a million

 Don't you know don't you know
