[Verse 1]
Sweet Emmylou
I blew the dust off you
You're the only one who
Knows what I'm goin' through
Like the hickory wind
He's gone again
Sweet Emmylou

[Verse 2]
Sweet Emmylou
As the needle runs through you
The way the pain shines through
I know you've been there, too
Those sad melodies
Oh, how they comfort me
Sweet Emmylou

[Chorus]
I hate to bother you again
Last time you helped my poor heart mend
Then he came along
So I put your records all away
Thought happy songs was all I'd play
But I was wrong, oh, I was wrong
[Verse 3]
Sweet Emmylou
What are we gonna do?
It's only been a week or two
And he's found someone new
Looks like it's gonna be
Another night of you and me
Sweet Emmylou

[Chorus]
I hate to bother you again
Last time you helped my poor heart mend
Then he came along
And I put your records all away
Thought happy songs was all I'd play
But I was wrong, oh, I was wrong
Sweet Emmylou
Sweet Emmylou
