She left her neighborhood in which
Everyone was filthy rich
She left her parents' home and strayed
With a vagabond who made
Vows of love she'd never heard
And she believed his every word

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

A young girl, a young girl of sixteen
Child of springtime, still green
Lying here by the road

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

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

A young girl, a young girl of sixteen
Child of springtime, still green
Lying here by the road

Too much emotion for a girl
She let her heart become her world
But worlds that God has never wrought
For all asunder, we are taught
Had she been wiser, she'd have known
She couldn't feed him love alone
He needed fresh new meat to carve
And left her heart, soul and mind to starve

A young girl, a young girl of sixteen
Child of springtime, still green
Lying here by the road .... dead
