Before Jessie Died

(Tom T. Hall)

She sat on the barstool, she smoked and she drank
Till the past became clear and the future went blank
In the past she regains all her beauty and pride
But that was before Jessie died.

Jessie her husband was small he was lean
Drove a big yellow earth movin' machine
They had a new pick-up the joy of their lives
But that was before Jessie died.

She used to go shoppin' for pretty young clothes
Had her hair done on Thusdays and her nails and her toes
And on weekends they'd dance til the first mornin' light
But that was before Jessie died.

On weekends they'd cook out and watch all the games
Jessie knew all of the best players names
The sun shined so bright it put tears in your eyes
But that was before Jessie died.

When Jessie got sick he was thirty years old
He said it ain't nothin' but a little light cold
And he worked till the pain wouldn't ease or subside
And that was before Jessie died.

Now she sits on the stool with a glass in her hand
She smiles and she talks to a travelin' man
There was a time she would turn down a ride
But that was before Jessie died.

She sat on the barstool she smoked and she drank
Till the past became clear and the future went blank
In the past she regains all her beauty and pride
But that was before Jessie died...

Mirror lyrics:

But that was before Jessie died...
In the past she regains all her beauty and pride
Till the past became clear and the future went blank
She sat on the barstool she smoked and she drank

But that was before Jessie died.
There was a time she would turn down a ride
She smiles and she talks to a travelin' man
Now she sits on the stool with a glass in her hand

And that was before Jessie died.
And he worked till the pain wouldn't ease or subside
He said it ain't nothin' but a little light cold
When Jessie got sick he was thirty years old

But that was before Jessie died.
The sun shined so bright it put tears in your eyes
Jessie knew all of the best players names
On weekends they'd cook out and watch all the games

But that was before Jessie died.
And on weekends they'd dance til the first mornin' light
Had her hair done on Thusdays and her nails and her toes
She used to go shoppin' for pretty young clothes

But that was before Jessie died.
They had a new pick-up the joy of their lives
Drove a big yellow earth movin' machine
Jessie her husband was small he was lean

But that was before Jessie died.
In the past she regains all her beauty and pride
Till the past became clear and the future went blank
She sat on the barstool, she smoked and she drank
