Lyrics Court Yard Hounds

Court Yard Hounds

Amelita

Amelita, come to see ya

And I finally now know the truth

Oh I found you, in your costume,

And the comb in your hair is the proof

Am I right, Amelita?

You just stand there with nothing to say

While they watch yo play the leader

So I’ve come here to take you away

Or they love you, and we lost you

When he promised to make you a star

Oh he fooled you, and it cost you

And the age on your face show the scars

Oh my good friend, I can see you

As a young girls with stars in her eyes

What a beauty, such a dancer,

Now you lay out your heart as a prize

Have you no pride?

You’ve got the rest of your life

I take your hand, let’s go tonight

Just leave it all, I promise you’ll

Be fine across the bridge, the lights of town

You smile, and never turn around

I remember you and Amelita

Have you no pride?

You’ve got the rest of your life

Where have you gone my friend

Then light in your eyes is gone, gone, gone

I take your hand, let’s go tonight

Just leave it all, I promise you’ll

Be fine across the bridge, the lights of town

You smile, and turn around and run

Amelita, have you no pride?

You’ve got the rest of your life

I take your hand, let’s go tonight

Just leave it all, I promise you’ll

Be fine across the bridge, the lights of town

You smile, and then you turn around and then run

Amelita, have you no ṗride?

You’ve got the rest of your life

Have you no pride?

Hey yeah
