Frenchie McCormick
Your rating:
The last time I saw her she's standin' alone In the door of her tumbled down shack On the edge of Tascosa she's waited for years But Micky her love can't come back Micky had died back in nineteen and twelve But Frenchie had made him a vow She's stay in Tascosa as long as she lived It was tough, but she made it somehow And Frenchie McCormick was true to her word She never left Micky alone She stayed in that rotten old tumbled down shack By the edge of the Tascosa road And the northern winds blew cross the Panhandle Plains The winters were bitter and cold But she wouldn't move was determined to keep A promise she'd made long ago She came to Tascosa from somewhere back east A charming and pretty young lass She called herself Frenchie that's all that we know Cause she never spoke of her past And Micky a bar keep a handsome young lad Was as dashing a man as you'd find He hired the young beauty they soon fell in love And were married in just a short time And Frenchie McCormick was true to her word She never left Micky alone She stayed in that rotten old tumbled down shack At the edge of the Tascosa road And the northern winds blew cross the Panhandle Plains The winters were bitter and cold But she wouldn't move was determined to keep A promise she'd made long ago She visited Micky most every day We'll come back without her this time In a solemn procession we trudge up the hill Six boys and a coffin of pine Yes she kept her promise she stayed till she died The stuff that romance is made of On a small wind blown hill over lookin' the town She lies beside Micky her love And Frenchie McCormick was true to her word She never left Micky alone She stayed in that rotten old tumbled down shack By the edge of the Tascosa road And the northern winds blew cross the Panhandle Plains The winters were bitter and cold But she wouldn't move was determined to keep A promise she'd made long ago And Frenchie McCormick was true to her word She never left Micky alone She didn't move was determined to keep A promise that's thirty years old
