Lyrics

[Verse 1] We need to talk about Addie Mae I seen her walking out the other day And I been watching that girl wilt away Bruised back, blisterin' There ain't no end to her sufferin' And any good she had is gone to gray [Chorus] It's a howlin' shame A howlin' shame [Verse 2] Oh that girl is a ghost Burnin' in a hell that don't nobody know White flag twistin' in the wind And at her best she is witherin' And she all set for death she can't be saved [Chorus] It's a howlin' shame A howlin' shame [Outro] Nobody could love her Nobody could care 'Cause she ran 'em all off With her get back stare Stay away, away, away Away, away A murder of crows They followed her home And they didn't leave much Just a bed of bones Get away, away Away, away, away I'm a howlin' shame
