She left her neighbourhood
In which everyone was filthy rich
She left her parent's home
And strained strayed with a vagabond
Who made piles vows of love she never heard
And she believed his every word

She left no forwarding address
Just took her youth and happiness
As with the boy she vanished in
The secret sweetness of their sin

Oh, young girl
Oh, young girl of sixteen
Child of spring-time
Still green
Lying there by the road

He told her: "love demanded space"
So they roamed from place to place
Although she realized she'd sined sinned
She grew threw caution to the wind
As she followed him around
While he slowly dragged her down

So overpowering was her love
TheThat it had made a captive of
The young girl's heart and soul and mind
In other words: love drove her blind

Oh, young girl
Oh, young girl of sixteen
Child of spring-time
Still green
Laying there by the road

Too much emotion for a girl
She let her heart become her world
What worldBut worlds that God has had never rocked(??) wrought
For a sunderFall asunder we are taught
Had she been wise and she'd she would have known
She could couldn't feed him love alone

She should of known the day would come
When he would quit her just for crums crumbs
He needed fresh young meat to love carve
And left her heart and mind to starve

Oh, young girl
Oh, young girl of sixteen
Child of spring-time
Still green
Lying there by the road

Dead
