LYRICS
Oooo-Oooo-Oooo-Oooo Emma Jean
1st verse: I knew a girl and her name was Emma Jean
She lived next door never said much of anything
Emma’s Daddy was a preacher man
held his head high with a bible in his hand
but late at night when the world was sleeping
into her bedroom he’d come creeping
Chorus:
They say her Mama just disappeared
There’s no traces of her anywhere
Her room is empty and her closet’s bear
There’s just Emma and that preacher there
Oooo-Oooo-Oooo-Oooo Emma Jean
2nd verse: She prayed for a way to escape this prison of shame
She waited for someone to save her but they never came
The whole town thought that he walked on water
But what kind of man does these things to his daughter
Late at night when the world was sleeping I could hear Emma Jean weeping
Emma’s dreams just finally disappeared
there’s no trace of hope left anywhere
Her heart is empty and her soul is bare
Now there's a bitter fire that’s raging there
After 17 years of hell Emma came undone
She found her saving grace when she found that gun
So many years of innocence lost
This time that preacher man paid the cost
Late one night when the world was sleeping into her bedroom he came creeping
Chorus:
They say that preacher just disappeared
there’s no traces of him anywhere
his room is empty and his closet’s bear
There ain’t nothing but a bible there
Oooo-Oooo-Oooo-Oooo Emma Jean
