Ashley Mcbryde Velvet Red
[Intro]
Velvet red, velvet red
He'd come callin', velvet red
[Verse 1]
There was a narrow road to that old foot path
Where the briar tangles into the musky dawn
And that old abandoned cabin
Was the perfect place for forbidden love to hide
[Verse 2]
She was the mayor's eldest daughter
She had a taste for the fruit of the vine
And he was a poor boy down in that holler
And made his living on his homemade wine
[Chorus]
Velvet red, velvet red
He'd come callin', velvet red
Velvet red, velvet red
She'd come runnin', velvet red
[Verse 3]
Don't you know their love grew like the wild flowers do?
She'd start to miss him with an awful thirst
And when that sun went down, she'd go sneakin' out
And he'd be waitin', callin' out to her
[Chorus]
Velvet red, velvet red
Makin' love on velvet red
Velvet red, velvet red
They were drunk on velvet red
[Verse 4]
There was a child born twenty years ago
To a mother who never wed
And though she gave no name for the father
She called her daughter Little Velvet Red
[Chorus]
Velvet Red, Velvet Red
Mama calls me Velvet Red
Velvet Red (Velvet Red), Velvet Red (Velvet Red)
My mama calls me Velvet Red
