Cadillac Flowers

Cadillac flowers on this day

On the prettiest morning in the month of May

The sun would be shining in such a way

There is never good timing on these things

Cadillac flowers, one by one

You should go out dancing, the night is young

Nobody dreamed just how it would go

My baby found laying in the midnight snow

Remember what I taught you, girl baby, just cry

This will never get easy till the day I die, till the day I die

Cadillac flowers lead us through

I look out my window at the passing view

I see my baby just standing looking all confused

She's in her springtime dress and her favorite shoes

Remember what I taught you, girl baby, just cry

This will never get easy till the day I die, till the day I die

Cadillac flowers heavy as gold

I remember my baby just at 8 years old

Running around the house that has long been sold

Laughing out loud at a joke she'd told

Cadillac flowers and baby's blues

Never thought I'd see the day that I would bury you

Heaven come steal my very soul

The devil come make a rich girl poor

Remember what I taught you, girl baby, just cry

This will never get easy till the day I die, till the day I die
