[00:17.87] I lost all of my vanity when I peered into the pool.
[00:24.66] I lost all of my innocence when I fell in love with you.
[00:31.90] I never knew a man could fall so far until I landed here
[00:39.22] Where all of my wounds, they turned into gold, when I kissed your hair.
[00:46.53] Now come to me Hannah
[00:50.13] Hannah won't you to come on to me?
[00:55.65] And I'll lay down this bottle of wine,
[00:59.25] if you'll just be kind to me.
[01:17.55] Ask her why she cries so loud,
[01:21.67] and she will not say a word.
[01:24.94] Eyes like ice and hands that shake...
[01:29.07] She takes what she deserves,
[01:32.77] To celebrate her emptiness in a cold and lonely room.
[01:40.01] Sweep the floors with your long flowered dress
[01:43.78] if you cannot find a broom
[01:47.35] Now come to me Hannah
[01:51.01] Hannah won't you come on to me?
[01:56.52] And I'll lay down this bottle of wine,
[02:00.24] if you'll just be kind to me.
[02:18.58] She's got hair that flows right down,
[02:22.09] right down to the backs of her knees.
[02:25.70] Her Papa he was a preaching man,
[02:29.32] and the Lord is hard to please,
[02:33.02] So she comes down from the Ozark hills
[02:36.54] to these very streets to roam,
[02:40.11] With a banjo, and a bible,
[02:43.77] and a fine tooth comb.
[02:47.43] Now come to me Hannah
[02:50.95] Hannah won't you come on to me?
[02:56.47] And I'll lay down this bottle of wine
[03:00.18] if you just be kind to me.
[03:18.83] I climb the tree with my Hannahlee,
[03:22.23] my intentions they were pure.
[03:25.92] Oh the breeze did whip, and I lost my grip,
[03:29.39] and I tumbled towards the earth.
[03:33.20] Where you never would guess who it was that stood below
[03:37.26] His name I will never tell.
[03:40.59] But His eyes were clear,
[03:42.54] And His arms were strong,
[03:44.34] And He caught me as I fell
[03:48.05] Now come to me Hannah
[03:51.70] Hannah won't you come on to me?
[03:57.22] I'll lay down this bottle of wine,
[04:00.79] if you'd just be kind to me.
[04:04.68] Now come to me Hannah
[04:08.40] Hannah won't you come on to me?
[04:12.11] I'll lay down this bottle of wine,
[04:15.81] if you'd just be kind to me.
