Empty Chambers

Joanna oh Joanna

How long has it been?
Since you left us
You were our mountain queen
Till you took the Greyhound bus

Joanna oh Joanna
Where is our Kentucky rose?

You left us on a rain filled morn
With no words of goodbye
You left as we worked the corn
Now all we ask is why

Joanna oh Joanna
Where is our Kentucky rose?

It’s been so many years now
But the mountain still remembers
Can you please come home somehow?
And brighten up our empty chambers

Joanna oh Joanna
Please come home our lost Kentucky rose.
