Lyrics
______________________________________________________________________
a woman that was never understood
she liked to drink corn liquor in the woods
and some say she was pretty, some say no
wilder than a wild Irish rose
none who threw the stones were without guilt
they say she moved away across the hills
no matter how you play, with time you kill
you’ll never see the ghost of Perryville
the sheriff keeps her picture near his heart
the banker has her jewelry in both cars
the mayor’s staying close to the family
he swore that he could solve the mystery
none who threw the stones were without guilt
they say she moved away across the hills
no matter how you play, with time you kill
you’ll never see the ghost of Perryville
the minister has little on his mind
he sells his story Sunday for a dime
the deacon disappeared down in Mexico
the only thing that’s clear is the case is closed
none who threw the stones were without guilt
they say she moved away across the hills
no matter how you play, with time you kill
you’ll never see the ghost of Perryville
