I Loved Her Too

Lyrics

[BUCHANAN, spoken] They got him! [MAURRANT] Rose! You're wearing a black dress! [ROSE] Why did you do it? Why did you? [MAURRANT] I must've been out of my head, Rose [ROSE] She never opened her eyes again [MAURRANT] It might not of looked like it to you But I loved her, too [THE CROWD] He loved her, too [MAURRANT] I couldn't stand to see nobody takin' her away from me For I loved her, too [THE CROWD] He loved her, too He really loved her He loved her, too [ROSE] She was so gentle, always so good and sweet [MAURRANT] I'd been drinkin', Rose, see what I mean And all this talk that went around There always was something inside of me Right here like a wall Seems like I never could break through But I swear to God, Rose That I loved her, too I loved her, too Yes, I loved her, too [ROSE, spoken] What'll they do to you, Pop? [MAURRANT] It's the chair for me, I guess But I don't care Let 'em give me the chair I don't care The way she looked at me! That look in her eyes! Rose! I oughtn't have done it! [ROSE] She always was gentle, always so sweet [THE CROWD] No, he oughtn't have done it! [MAURRANT] I oughtn't have done it! [ROSE] And now she is dead [THE CROWD] He loved her, he loved her [MAURRANT] I must have been crazy [THE CROWD] And yet he killed her [ROSE] She always was gentle [MAURRANT] I just went clean out of my head [THE CROWD] He killed her Now she is dead [ROSE] And now she is dead [THE CROWD] Now she is dead [MAURRANT] But I loved her too [THE CROWD, variously] The woman he loved is dead She is dead, where the window is broken [ROSE] You say you loved her [MAURRANT] There always was something inside of me [THE CROWD, variously] Up there in that room He loved her too [MAURRANT] Right here like a wall I couldn't break through [THE CROWD, variously] And yet he killed her Up there in that room He loved her too [ROSE] But now she is dead She was my mother, why did you kill her? [THE CROWD, variously] Why did he do it? Why did he kill her? Why did he kill the one he loved? [MAURRANT] I loved her, too, Rose Yes, I loved her, too [THE CROWD] He loved her, too
