lyrics

An old brick church on a delta road

Little girls in their Easter bows

The congregation harmonizing well

The preacher preaching heaven or hell

Clarksdale Katie dressed in white

Praying softly hands pressed tight

For all of us who live out past

The angels in the red stained glass



Clarksdale Katie don’t be blue

That big ol’ river it gets sad too

If you listen close you can hear it say

Clarksdale Katie it’ll be ok



A little white house on a quiet street

Her friend fading fast on wrinkled sheets

A scribbled note an empty bottle of pills

A scene that would give a snowman chills

Katie rushed in right before

The raven rapping on her chamber door

A sad refrain around & round

Headstones or hospital gowns



Clarksdale Katie don’t be blue

That big ol’ river it gets sad too

If you listen close you can hear it say

Clarksdale Katie it’ll be ok



Katie’s lying next to me

Shattered as a smashed TV

Wrestling with the mystery

Of living out here past

The angels in the red stained glass



Clarksdale Katie don’t be blue

That big ol’ river it gets sad too

If you listen close you can hear it say

Clarksdale Katie it’ll be ok

Katie it’ll be ok
