Darla Jean Fontaine
Darla Jean Fontaine,
Sweetest face you ever seen.
Come back, Darla Jean.
Mama ain't gonna be the same.
[Chorus]
Someone whispers, Who did this to Darla Jean?
Silence rumbles ‘cause nobody’s sayin.’
A mourning dove sails across an open sky,
Climbing high, on a flight for heaven.
Down a no-name road.
Skipped into the fadin' light.
Chased a Monarch ‘round the bend.
Sparrows then took flight.
[Chorus]
Someone whispers, Who did this to Darla Jean?
Silence rumbles ‘cause nobody’s sayin.’
A mourning dove sails across an open sky,
Climbing high, on a flight for heaven.
Neighbors came to gather,
Confessin' their worries and a warnin'.
What if somethin' bad might be found,
By sun up tomorrow mornin'.
[Bridge]
One school shoe,
Pale blue bonnet.
Muddy red,
Streaked upon it.
Clutch of hair,
Tangled knot.
Devil stood,
On that spot.
The Devil stood,
On that spot.
Mama cried in pain.
Lord, I never done ya no wrong.
So please bring back, Please bring back,
My little baby, Darla Jean.
[Chorus]
Someone whispers, Who did this to Darla Jean?
Silence rumbles ‘cause nobody’s sayin.’
A mourning dove sails along a lonely sky,
Climbing high, found a place in heaven,
Darla Jean Fontaine.
Sweetest face you ever seen,
Come home, Darla Jean.
Your mama ain’t the same...
Where’s that Darla Jean?
Darla Jean Fontaine.
Devil stands on that spot…
