I left a line of blue-haired ministers
Deciding where she should go
Alongside the pastor's big white limousines
At the holy sink they glow
My mind's made up a week from Saturday
'Til then the doors are closed
But poor old Virginia's pleas were never heard
By then she's a traveled soul
Oh, how she prayed
How she prayed
Not like the sailor beside her
Not like the waves in the water
Not like the ways that he taught her
How she prayed
Oh, how she prayed
So Ginny found herself a place in Tennessee
It wasn't much but called it home
Her mamma said, "Go find yourself a Kennedy
You'll never go it on your own"
Well, there's something I never shared with you
Broken vows and broken homes
Mama never really cared for you
Tried to tell you all along
Oh, how she prayed
How she prayed
Not like the sailor beside her
Not like the waves in the water
Not like the ways that he taught her
Oh, how she prayed
How she prayed
Not like the sailor beside her
Not like the waves in the water
Not like the ways that he taught her
How she prayed
Oh, how she prayed
Oh, how she prayed
Oh, how she prayed
