Diana Jones

Lyrics

Diana was a Cherokee Pretty as you'd ever see With blue eyes and long black hair And a wild streak from here to there And reservation life was slow So she packed her bags to go Moved to Georgia And took the name Diana Jones Diana ran the Dew Drop Inn Wily as a mountain cat And kept a room behind the bar For any man who needed that And people talk about her still How she'd take a twenty dollar bill And write across Jackson's face "Diana Jones" She brought all the gold in Georgia, back shining Twenty bucks at a time And Harlon wore the badge in town He was always hanging 'round But ever since Diana died You hardly see him on this side His wife used to come for him And drag him out of the Dew Drop Inn It wasn't fit for a family man to know Diana Jones Diana made the front page news The night she went out on the loose Heartbroken with a gun in her hand And in love with a married man Neighbors called the station scared And Harlon had to go down there And something went wrong somewhere for Diana Jones But she brought all the gold in Georgia, back shining Twenty bucks at a time [Instrumental] And no one knows what happened then Between Diana and five armed men Shots were fired and words were said Two men and Diana dead And things went on the way they do The papers filled with other news The wild died in Harlon, too With Diana Jones I've only seen him one time since He come into the Dew Drop Inn And bought all the old boys a round And went to lay his money down Gave a twenty dollar bill a kiss And said "I hate to part with this" And right across Jackson's face it said "Diana Jones" She brought all the gold in Georgia, back shining Twenty bucks at a time
